this is the age of the internet of growing timelines! regrets in the shape of by-lines!

 

holy ideas                                                   beeping behind us, alerting me the quarter after every

hour about          disease (on the hour! on the hour! on the hour!)

about flagrant bean next to bean  ...hope to aerate before my mouth begins foaming!                   but you!

you, when buttons are pushed, are my integrated pest management.        and when they secrete,

they secreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeete from your

jittering knees, finally,

and calmly.
