I am beginning to worry my parrot is ill, but he dodges interrogation I'll say how are you feeling today, and he'll say how are you feeling today I'll say do you want a Ritz Bit, and he'll quote Nietzsche In the first essay of Genealogy of Morals Nietzsche claims the lamb cannot separate "strength from expressions of strength" That the lamb holds the bird of prey "accountable for being a bird of prey" We felt the sun for the first time Against the curve of our cheeks and the shield of our brow-bones It hurt to keep our eyes open It hurt even more to blink and miss a thing The awe was everything we'd hoped it'd be Revel in the delicate balance between expansion & destruction Between pushing too far and not far enough It is not that we seek to break the fleeting, feathered things We only want to hold them in the cradle of our jaws But it is impossible for me to be alone in this city Not when I have the Tuesday noon siren A lucky penny on the sidewalk outside the now-closed Lucky Penny diner The kindly tone of the lady reminding me, for my own safety To keep my head up and my phone down while riding MUNI The voice of the BART station assuring me all the elevators are working Every one of my disembodied companions - if you know something, tell me After all, lily pads can't make themselves They have little dogs and the little dogs have little dogs And the dogs of the little dogs have even littler dogs And they all have fleas, and the fleas have fleas, and so on... And so on the backs of a many-backed creature do we build our many backed beds And so do we call them dams, and them damsels And I can manage most of that, an understatement for a comforter but no top sheet A two hour window, a sunset I came into a shit bar and there are parts of me I really don't like Saying the word love It's like trying to cover the ocean floor With a single bucket of paint
