prime directive

Just another day

On this satellite

Who sees the face

Beneath this expression

Can’t you tell I was

Walking around

Dreaming awake

The luminescent fields of song flowers

Their dawn chorus making my pediflaps

Undulate with pleasure

Started it all off

When I saw you

And that wanton

Smile

And like every episode of every

TV show

Could go fuck itself

To ask you

Your name

And what the symbols on your

Fingers
