first look

it is nice

that one can be one step away from annihilation

at all points

the car will melt the planet

the car will drive you to the movies

the movies are the problem for they

do not show how the planet really is

it is not nice

even in my dreams

i can die

and wait to wake up

there on my bed again

drooling with that special ooze

that can create a new world

that too will hate me

going the wrong way

lost

insistent on not using the gps

because i am a dad

a nice dad

that knows how this universe works

i stretch for a second

for comfort

for long enough for a truck to come and plow me

and what i bring

a solution to this daily slipping

of all that can be

but isn’t

that is nice

but never seen

it is for you. it is about you. it will tell you how to be you again. get a copy here: https://goo.gl/zsyqVD
