gambit

who’s the scientist
playing epic board games
with herself?

a pet and cute enough
with her fierce eyes
and pretty nose

read queer quanta
till your socks rot
or change them daily

the buoy the bright bay
the temporary feeling
of relief

centrifuge
fugues
inevitable

a gigantic
coke can
a baby inside

self assembled
human
plus CO2

i ching
and change
accordingly

her mind
one fireword
after another

> all fireworks
< all knowledge

hedging the hegemon
won’t keep us safe
from missiles

same old missives
massive in their silos
silent
