space dementia, iv.
after the rain, you
biography the voices in your head
in rainbow order.
it doesn't flash flood conscious.
one of the villagers
builds a lightning tower
out of bottle caps,
out of "instant winners".
it doesn't flash flood conscious.
rub together war nickels
until Jefferson
doesn't recognize himself,
opposite himself--
until the year is a memory.
