let's coil river-worths of wire
up inside the plastic boxes
and watch them flow with the hot yellow
of thoughts and the blood of thinking;
let's wind the many springs hard-tight
and screw in the airless tubes before
we punch the button and tell the sand
that we want to see what it will do.

Ice Cream
Everyone writes poems about emotions and fears
And one day I said, "I want to write a poem about

And eating straight from the carton at Dad's
While netflix plays on the wii
And sitting on the rooftop watching the stars
Ice cream bar in hand
About the store by Big Lake
