Reference Point Zero

stand and count the holidays or do their will unbidden
leave your stomach in your shoe i told you that you shouldn't
stick to cat and feral forms and maybe you'll be driven
into a state of anarchy i told you that you wasn't

it's still a sure way to make a best friend
approval

genevieve
at the tender age of seventy
got a first in para-psychology
from a real life university
which was never there

if the ottoman empire wanted her
she would welcome it in her fairness
she would welcome it in the sureness
she would warm to it

would have been would have been
should have been should have been secured
(a shame)

shame, rattle and roll

i swear
nobody
nobody is
