dizzy

supermarket science
experimental patient
wait long enough
enough for me to sustain
the carpet store saw a little dog barking
at a sliver of the moon
beaming down the road a bit
ditch the loot and make out like we never knew
the map we just drew it
sleeper that one might
where is this headed
ask with a scratch in my voice
sense some hostility
the bird on my shoulder
cry if you like
when we all show up or throw up
wish some would just grow up
implode at this moment
eyes are watering the tree is dying
what will make the redness go away
back at another time
shave the panther and gouge out the eyes
with blonde brows beaded with sweat
as the heat rising with the sun

moon switching places and faces making me dizzy. . .
