Super Glue Operation


Hours
of proximity
were warm bursts.
We swam through the chills.
In the concrete ocean, 
we were the insistent blooming trees.

Hours
they passed by
and came again
changed slightly
we went through them with care
we plodded
until we landed 
on the bench
Ignoring the table’s distant chair

Silence was our primary song
but laughter, the kind that comes
from those that believe little
and sense too much,
creased the sides of your mouth
and roared from my cavern

Poor circulation
a hand in another's pocket
for the final
stroke home.

Winter not relenting
spring succumbing
sauce and meat
dinner 
with legs crossed
on the floor.

We were before something
and we were something

The last hour
a super glue operation
You hold the sunglasses together
I'll apply the glue


Super glue operation

Hours
of proximity
were warm bursts
like swimming through a chill
in the ocean
they passed by
and came back again
changed slightly
we went through them with care
On concrete and grass we plodded
until we landed on the bench at the bar
Ignored the chair at the table's end

Silence was our primary song
but laughter, the kind that comes
from those that believe little,
and love too much
caused two creases on the side of his mouth
and wild roars from within my cavern

The last hour
a super glue operation
You hold the sunglasses together
I'll apply the glue

It was before something
and it was something

Reacting

3 tons of water
Dropped like
Bricks
Explode On top of 
Too many splitting 
Atoms
The 3 inch
Hand of a baby
Put in the tube
For more reacting
 damage
the company men
Calm us
The government 
Reports
The truth 
Eludes us
