fragmentation
it’s what we can’t see that scares us the most
three purple aliens hovering at the door
the little one rings the bell
not everyone likes Peyton Manning
would more than likely hit the mute button
or not hand out candy on a cold & rainy night
the baseball game is postponed
for obvious reasons
a higher power undoubtedly in on the action
[it being] the car crash that killed the driver
in the early morning hours
not to mention a few dead fawns
and a number of squirrels
chili is warming on the stovetop
there’s something mysterious in the wi-fi
—the doorbell rings again
october two thousand twenty-two
