…
We tell lies
in the cellar,
sell our words
for tiny button
photographs
of time.
We’re in the
weeds, berry
-kissed
and a little
touched
in the head.
We’re re:cording
ourselves sane,
playing games
across the fence
between sigh
and science.
Flex those veins
with ice, the cream
(de la creme) vice
president of
op(her)ations, en
-fixed without violence.

My Shawna gave me a word list. This is what it wanted to be.

yes, we are all a little touched in the head…
Beautifully worded and a delight to read over and over. Greetings to you.
“sell our words / for tiny button / photographs / of time.” — Oh wow. Fantastic.
I love this.
