Elliptical Ice Terriers
Just as your blades describe an icy metaphysic of
parallel curves, I will be your personal pronoun
for the duration of this sentence. You will be my
personal pronoun for the duration of this sentence.
It’s all about remaining in motion. Exquisite poetries
and theories of everything propel flying spins,
no-hands bicycle arias on the way home. More
reciprocal alterity, more biomimicry, less blood
sausage fealty, explosions of sweetest beauty.
My child, why repeat what some poet or another
has already said—we live our lives forever taking
leave—when a custom-fitted speech act can be
yours within 24 hours. With it you can perform
rites and ceremonies, weddings, baptisms,
extreme unctions, forgiveness of sins, funerals—
visit correctional facilities, start your own church.
