One
I’m justified in the paradoxical exploration of my mirror-self
Sunlight is disposed, recycled, and repurposed from the imagination
of gods, slumbering
ancient translations engraved in flesh cheapened by booze
whereas premarital sex meditations
merge with dreamscape headlines
four columns deep
several catastrophes wide
a dangerous smile in the dark (a tongue twister), beckons
apotheosis strips the dance down to the molecule
I am reduced to recurring events dubbed as déjà vu
Staring blindly at the bar table’s reflective glare
Happy hour demolished, the bartender’s cleavage
seems an open invitation
to the exploration of wormholes
