The Tiniest Suns<br />

Maija Haavisto<br />

it starts by introducing tiny crinkles<br />

on the tops of cookies<br />

some dislike the effect<br />

while others make them<br />

crack intentionally<br />

the ridges spread into faultlines<br />

and continue opening into sinkholes<br />

at that point it’s much too late<br />

you might lose a limb or two<br />

but you don’t even care any more<br />

you’re too busy staring at the static<br />

it’s easy to get lost into it<br />

the intricacy of the blooming pixels<br />

you’re static and it’s not funny<br />

but you laugh anyway<br />

tires pop, eyes pop<br />

once you ...let’s not go there<br />

look mom! no limbs! no head!<br />

the spherical limb fully severed!<br />

no body! no me! just static<br />

that goes bzzzzzz<br />

like a swarm of angry bees<br />

no one’s driving this bike<br />

(but bees! so many bees!)<br />

as it heads into a ditch<br />

where unmanned bikes tend to go<br />

that is where I’d go look<br />

but yeah, there’s nothing to be found<br />

the circuits still bubble up sparkles<br />

and you could stare at them<br />

all day, I think you do<br />

I think that’s where you’ve been<br />

all day<br />

orbiting the tiniest suns<br />
