than it should

everything i cook tastes the same

everything i cook tastes the same
sometimes i think i’ll cook something different
something nice
so i get a recipe book out
and choose something different
something nice
and start making it

of course
i don’t have this ingredient
or that ingredient
so i use the nearest thing i have
out of the ingredients i already have
or leave it out entirely
and hope it’s okay

still
at least i’ve cooked something different
something nice
which tastes exactly the same now
of course
as everything else i’ve ever cooked

loop

I’m using the internet
because I can’t sleep
and I can’t sleep
because I’m using the internet

caught
in a refresh cycle
updating
every
page
in the hope that something has changed
but nothing has

and when something is looked at this closely
this constantly
the illusion is created
that nothing ever does
nor ever will

three untitled poems

1.

I like
the transformative properties
of snow

the way
it obliterates
the boundary lines
we’ve laid down

road and pavement
path to garden
field from wood

and the way
it allows me to imagine
(in the hour or two before it melts
beneath the afternoon sun)
a world more open
than our own


2.

All that is left now
is the absence of it

the outline
of where it once stood

the memory
of what it once was

the last few mounds of rubble
that no one’s found the time
to sweep away

3.

These waves have been crashing
on indistinguishable shores
for a billion years
and will
for four billion more

a field of bonfires

a field of bonfires
generating the screams
that will help see us through the winter
