no just couldn’t be a rectangle
that was not the right shape at all
no there was too much violence there
was the aura of the knife
it breaks the sky slices it open
like a big woman with unavoidably
large breasts somehow I don’t trust
them and we fear them as reflected
in cinemas perhaps located within
them
so devoid of humanity impossible
that they could be on our side
they condescend and will last
almost forever more famous
than anyone and they don’t
understand what it is like
to be able to be hurt
there is no way to control
them
is leaping from them symbolic
have we taken that plunge
how high
can we get
race you to Pluto
