We’ve put too much sense of the world in our sense of writing
Things like what goes up must come down
Hello leads to goodbye
Fire is fire
Water is water
I want to write somewhere where it’s not so
Up can stay up
Happiness doesn’t have to lead to sadness
The moments the loneliness comes in
He breathes past my ear
Maybe I’m on Mars exploring with the Rovers
Maybe I’m on Mercury
He says what goes up must catch flame and burn in the sun
Maybe I’m on Venus where it doesn’t matter if you’re up or down you’re burning alive in acidic rain
Sulphuric acid
Maybe I’m with Jupiter
Hanging out on Io, erupting with Prometheus
Stolen fire bound to the rock by Zeus
Maybe I’m hanging from Saturn’s rings where there’s no up or down just cold rocks failed moons dead things
I don’t want to swim in the ocean trapped by the sky
I don’t want to know the time
I see you Omni
I know I named you that’s all I did that stuck
You can keep it baby, I love you
Mars had a laugh while I worried about the disappearance of him
What could happen to cause his secondary light to go out
Binary planets
Binary solar systems
Binary galaxies
Twins
I’d rather be anywhere but here
You say my head is up in the clouds
I say your world sense makes light of what and where I am
If the clouds are the nebulaeic sort
Perhaps
Or the dust of rings
Omni’s things.
Out and out
About Arcturus
Grumpy old man
Feminine lights with no name
Beyond into the nothing
.
I don’t want to be here.
I wish I could fly away.
