Not A.




The
doctor, not the


monster.
The melodrama


& its
denouement.


The movements
within


the thin
tin rocket ship.


Sulfuric sparks
like


script, limn
the limbs


of the alembic;
reduced


from spirits,
the salve


reigns in
the storm


over
the archipelago


where pelicans
distend


their
mammoth riffs.  In the


CRISPR,
a sequence

of seeming random

numbers


bouncing along
the ionosphere


like fleas.
My garden


is full of
styrofoam peanuts


which look more
like fat maggots


from the air
where my cousin’s


drone
hovers.  Our


neighbor’s kitchen
counter


tops are coated
in human tears,


a model home filled
with blank books,


open the doors
& all the people


can see you,
too.
