Midnight

Midnight is like a square. 
A square patch of grass at midnight. 
Folds over. 
Hurts like spirals. 

Midnight churning and tapping. 
Weirdness. 
There’s such a thing as too many midnight moons. 
I have double vision. 

Midnight eating away at the feel-good chatter. 
Spiraling like curtains. 
Opening and closing. 
Midnight. 

Midnight is like lettuce being chopped up. 
Midnight is like a tunnel. 
Midnight is like nothing you’ve ever seen. 
Because it’s dark. 

Because it’s dark. 
Like a patch of grass at midnight. 
Because it’s dark. 
So it is.
