Vacuum
Vacuum
by Michael R. Burch
Over hushed quadrants

And it's driving me quite insane
Numb my solace shame

Wait a Minute
Did I hear that wrong?
On my way for another appointment
with the vampire bleeding Quest,
big stage conversations on the radio
travel way too fast
for me to stay tuned in
to our nesty mess
at my normal liberal-conserving pace.

Did You Notice
Did you notice?
What you have for breakfast,
despite what Mom said,
is probably less important than who you do

have breakfast with,
and why
The brand and make and year of your car

Would you yell at it?
In a momentary...

through strange Dreamlands
where Apollo sleeps
in his dark forgetting

like a wise bloodletting
and all I remember

is: to Love sometimes

gliding in vast solitariness there
so that all that remains is to
