The pineapple express derailed just
west of Samoa
the wreck could be seen on weather maps
along with associated
pyrotechnicalities
i.e., The Road to Xanadu
the leaves all golden now, feathers
as they fall, the lace-like skeletons of butterfly wings
tumbling
like irony was the first mistake
taking the scenic route was the second
the third was the black & white camouflage
of her yellow polka dot kimono
Nikola Tesla conceived the earth as a conductor of
acoustic resonance, what about the ocean?
what about those high-heel huaraches?
I can’t tell the difference between the sky & the sea
knee deep in the parking lot
peeling off a wetsuit in the rain
