Boredom Vaccine
“I would be thrilled once again by mud and jelly candy.
I would digest volumes of dust.”
—Joe Ciccone, from the epigraph to the poem, “Boredom Vaccine.”
Eat a penny keep a penny find brains in the sides of airplanes wet with rain great names like
sounds of pain down hallways that hide their mirrors amidst solid works that were once only
numbers set to music played through strings whose notes we cannot fathom while birds turn
to telephone wires which turn into rivers then bridges and at last cities that go on for years
beneath their oceans of sky whose wheels are burning in their engines.
We push god further into the corner.
