[by my dirty body I hadn't noticed]

 

by my dirty body I hadn't noticed

sheets being clean and pitched in stamps.

 

The blast that's traffic light

gives me hope and something much smaller

like a toaster or self-lighting scarecrow.

 

Mirror rapping bass mind

like explosive bat rabbit ears in elevator

headlights rapping rebublic.

 

Answer quickly and I'll submit the change

to our changing bodies.

 

Small pigs are giving peace to land

of ears and empathy of animals

if animals even live there;

I don't know if they'll lay awake like we do,

but some of us do it all the time

perusing lights in subterfuge soup

with regular drinks and regular toast

where they don't serve it,

we'll have to make our own.

 

Lights on the bridge watch me walk

while they're addicted to urinating,

pollution is beautiful,

pollution is kind to us

for not making clever replacements.

Wow, I was hoping to offer some comment on the style or the flow of this, but I just simply love it.
