fourth or fifth dimension



the watch on my wrist
lets me know      how I sleep
recording      every inner pattern
turning them into algorithms


early morning sunrise
pushes the ghosts      aside
bread n butter      bread n butter
banana or apple or orange


life is a series of snacks
call them meals      if you may
planting trees      in the morning
raking leaves by night


what you don’t      experience
you live through others
thunder & lightning & raw fear
yes you say      the gods are angry


opening & closing at will
be it door      or window to the soul
bring in the good & let out the bad
now you see me      now you don’t





november two thousand twenty
