Anaphylaxis

What do the high-chroma accessories do?
Wristwatch that is so much powder blue.

Bristolian, it seems; though that is late
and late is late is late.

Festooning where what bends breaks;
after repetition, you understand.

And missing a week is missing a lot;
constancy of love is nearly exhausting;

hard to handle, desperation
for nutriment because man cannot

life on a single sustenance for much longer
and being that one food;

delectable and chlorophylic though it may be
now nearing it brings anaphylaxis.


You and I are like two articulated
figures just posed like this

—and not thinking about an external
authority that may've have posed us like this—

and our arms are not moving.


Ball joint impacted, whatever corroded
orbit maybe mossy, and the moss

gets into the housing. You are like one thing
and I am like the other.
