Jellyfish submarines

When the leftovers of focus

dwindle, we expire. City by city the lights

are consumed by longitudes and deluged

by distractions. Speak into your hand

with the one that severs. Each of us who

go to the mega cities, like lampposts seen

from the troposphere, like jellyfish submarines

who stumble through airport security with disposed

smiles and authorized liquids, we let down our

sails and drift through a revolving

door of lovers and loyalty cards.
