making maki

i was told

i feel too much

and i felt it

though telling no one

and waiting for

it to poison like

too much sushi

another fact

i wish i wasn’t told

*

it is known that

those depths of the

unknown in humanity

are found in the depths

of humanity

*

champagne flutes

sing and you dodge

the cork even

though there’s so much

living to live

if only your eyes

opened during the bang

and the drinking

*

aren’t you worried

that people will worry

about you by what you write

i’m asked by someone

with real worries i do not know

which is a shame

for they only needed to write

about them

so i could understand and imagine

and worry with them
