GLOW
walked into the Cafe
fish in the tank
had an unearthly glow
no one else seemed
any the wiser
seems it is
the privilege of being born
twelfth sign
to read this text
devise the code
and see with eyes
pure Old Testament
but as we
enter this establishment
scan, reconnoitre,
see this bunch of executive media
types crunched around a table
talking District 9
or possibility of TV follow up
with talent competition and
fun rides
I could pitch them my talent show
all of them
contestants, nobody survives
and the fish trying to sell me something could it
be a (fish)fingerprint of the gods tale of
Antarctica hiding
Atlantis
love these lost cities when feel lost
in the city, lost in my own mind
should write an alternate history in which
my ex-wife led a revolution sending me
and my kind South
to Antarctica
where
there are alien space bases, lunatic
fringe has it
me and
my kind I do not have a “kind”
milk of
human kindness milk of my galaxy
spiral nebula in my coffee could be Andromeda
hurtling towards us
take billions of years to get here,
Greek mythology certified, sweet extinction on its way
I know
you know
I glow
you glow
twin slit experiment you wave me away
