to the untamed beasts of rapid
learning and feral pleasure,
the ones who steal trinkets—
glinting fragments of home,

like a broken cassette,
stolen moments of joy
remain frozen in subspace,
memories—just like a token

once in a while funfair at the
wonderfully easy dreamland

and numbly in my factory of
‘things that can happen’ or
‘things i want to happen, but never will.’
