I’d

no idea molecules
wander nothing
is set in place

same with ideas
you’d think
there was some limit

it’s true your head’s
in the clouds
and your gut’s

heavy with history
your bare feet
buried in dirt

’cos you are molecules you
breathe molecules
eat cry shit them

including toxins
invented less than
one hundred years ago

so it’s possible to sing even
when caught red handed the
embarrassment of the

hand
covering your mouth
too late

on the other hand
there is the other hand
doing its thing

or there could be a
blazing world where an empress
and a duchess

discuss indulgent
hypotheses concerning cheese
and worms and

centuries later topologists
are still at it
still

thinking they’re
thinking their way
out of things
