unsolved mysteries
I’m not going to keep repeating
myself as if I’ve nothing left to say
they say it’s impossible to come up
with anything original but I don’t
believe that for a new york minute
in the repeating dream
there are millions of monarchs
representing twenty-six letters in a key
and somehow you’re expected
to dumb it down for everyone
of course by the time
you’re running out the door
all is long forgotten
and those above ground mysteries
[those abstract imitations]
will simply have to wait
until the ultimate break of day
july two thousand twenty
