Outer Space

Whirling, and howling. 
Just spins and spatters. 
So chase planets in your head. 
Tingles like anti-thoughts. 
Eyebrow raising, gentle gasping, and nodding like brush strokes. 
Or even weird pieces of paper thrashing from the words. 
I have a note. 
Tells her I can’t do any talking. 
I chewed my hair like it was death or gum. 
Chase planets in orbit. 
Or write something with your hands.
