Utopia
Pride is when nine billion birds flatter the sun.
Karma is when nations rise out of the sea.
The tides grow fat with age as the
sun grows fat with age. In a struggle of
man vs. himself, man is a distant
city, a catcher of dust.
Utopia
Our jaws are full of wishes.
Our beds are super clean.
The wind brushes the grass, which we’ve
smooshed with our feelings.
You talk about the war.
I talk about my bleeding heart.
It’s winter here.
It’s the longest day of the year.
