Thrill Wanting Wormhole
We’re hiding from a tornado in a supermarket bathroom that smells of
fresh bread and shit as if painted toenails and love are the same thing
when the rain turns into hail and speaks to the clouds, Clouds, make a
funnel and kill people in a strip mall. And wind starts screaming, I don’t
want this life, I want something better and you’re coming with me. And
then a tree says, I can’t bend any farther as houses and pets are vacuumed
up like flesh pulled into the mouths of piranhas, the air is howling like a
fed-up Gospel preacher on a Sunday morning and everyone is getting
blown and sucked through the ceiling along with packaged meat and Coca-
Cola cans and the sky is fluorescent gray-green the way skies get when
posed in the semi-erect, apocalyptic yoga move of Thrill Wanting
Wormhole Forcing Death. That color quietly killed us before we died.
