failing writers post cards from space<br />
I need this to be right, this<br />
collection <strong>of</strong> wrongsayings:<br />
rightdoings turn over and over<br />
and, over, and over<br />
pay attention now<br />
it's the greatest<br />
trick <strong>of</strong> them<br />
all, when the words<br />
disappear faster than your cat<br />
facing imminent bathtime<br />
your hands itching to cause<br />
disaster and nothing<br />
on the stove,<br />
old grease<br />
feeling electric and breathing<br />
in the middle <strong>of</strong> summer rainstorms<br />
dropping hail and worse all over<br />
a screen that can't look back,<br />
fortunate that mistakes pay<br />
better than ever<br />
was what<br />
dreamy substance stuck between<br />
fingers clenched tight on imagined lashes<br />
beating this thing into shape<br />
frothing in the traces and blown<br />
hard for the treeline<br />
submitted<br />
for your viewing pleasure<br />
strung out like a smack ape<br />
in the darkest cave<br />
ceilings all done up with ticker tape<br />
flotsam Halloween<br />
for the Christmas set<br />
your rocket is ready<br />
your fingers ache<br />
you can't shut it down<br />
or out, it undulates in<br />
the space you used to fill alone<br />
and calls you names
