"Stay drunk on writing so reality doesn't destroy you."--Ray Bradbury


The universe is suede and black pepper –
a subtle aroma like coffee in a cafe.
It’s accompanied by clean laundry air-drying
a few miles away.
But when preoccupied with dancing like a blur,
it smells like a drunk. Wine is spilled
on the laundry.
A party consumes the land.
The seasoning is mixed into a soup that will
never be eaten,
because everyone is too busy
enjoying themselves.
The universe’s leather shoes are kicked
to the wings.
