I feel the world
creeping—eating—alive
but I sink down
through the strata
farther below by something
more willful than gravity
like my grip
has slipped I’m falling
into earthen wounds
the deeps of oceanic trenches
and limestone cenotes
slow as the gaping
geologic time scale

When the engineer sleeps
All the structure becomes a shredded salad
the grinder goes after the numbers, the multiplications,
calculations?
alll goes all over the place in particles!
bridges are parked in the sea
skyscrapers causing
earthquakes in the
basements
people sleeping
on bathrooms
heavens!
calculus teachers
exponentiate
aneurysms
because nobody uses a ruler!
nor a compass
not even
the goddamn alphabet
is safe!
equations in the
line
kill the commas
and the periods

leads to a fall
and every window
does not lead to
its transparent rhyme
on the neighbouring window
-STRUCTURE!-
they say
BLOW UP THE WHOLE DAMN THING

Hand off grudges you've held too long.
Peel back layers you've hidden under,
Laugh heartily that you've been so wrong.
Remember all your lost kingdoms
Left behind at edge of Childhood.
Bathe in moonlight on windswept nights,
Lose yourself in the wild wood.
When you sense your phoenix rising,
Cast back your eyes, once more (at most),
Softly gaze on your old scarred soul--
Forgive yourself first and foremost.

There were thousands of us in the beginning. Brave, desperate kids with no opportunities on Earth. When the Department of Youth Employment put out the word that we were wanted, most of us signed up without even asking what the job was. When I found out they needed me to explore our solar system for 'Enhanced systems capable of sustaining human life' and 'Extraterrestrial resource locations,' well, I was glad to be one of the first to put my name on that list. Who wouldn't want to pull a Kirk and explore strange new worlds, right?
It was a six month training program to learn how to operate the interplanetary skuttles. Tiny bottle cap shaped s
