a crater in the frozen food aisle /
leaves the shoppers whistling high /
mark downs have reached the lower mantle /
warping all the decimal points /
the smiley faces twist into /
a dark green smudge /
back into the typical atmosphere /
blood donors drag their arms /
through fresh concrete /
molding the future with three foot long fingerprints /
a species extinct before even being interviewed /
a son is in the garage building /
a monument to our successors /
using leftover paint to smear a tumble /
of all possible shades /
hedging his bets on the new dominants /
staring into our window /
love is eaten at a late lunch /
leaving no leftovers for Sunday’s long hours /
all the matter of the world /
should be so soft and so sweet /
folding our teeth back /
for a larger gape /
a welcome opening passed /
from neighbour to neighbour
