What We Do All Day

A Poem by Matthew Savoca


i think about crop circles

and wander around the apartment

i keep walking into the room you are in

just to remind you that i'm alive

then i walk out again

what do you think are the little balls of light?

i want to know

if i focus all of my mental energy

or think really hard for a long time

about a particular crop circle shape

will it appear to me in a significant manner?

if i tell you how i feel right now

will you look at me and make some facial expression?

there are so many things that i don't understand

like where crop circles come from

or how a refrigerator is magnetized

or what could be so interesting

about staring at a computer screen

is it the neon light?

what room have you been sitting in?

i come from another dimension
