I was in a constellation
There were several gravitational pulls
Ophiuchus grasped his serpent
And we were his alternate arms
Or it was. I’m iffy on the denominators
There were magnets on the refrigerator
I lettered four-letter words with
And all the other entities laughed alongside me
And spoke English
And there were frequent moments of levity
Like when I sucked on a joint in a patch of Swiss chard
Recalling my Halloween costumes from 2004-on
Forking apple pie filling in my mouth
The moral error in everything
Affiliated with what I was saying
Assuming clarity
And then a sheen
So as I was saying
At this point Johannes interrupted me
Upstairs, a child was crying
Something horrible was happening
We had to rush back inside
