dinosaur chicken nugget they say we're evolved from microphones. i open the freezer & sitting next to the specimen of an extiction is a bag of dinosaur nuggets. we keep cutting down the land line just to have it grow back. someone is always calling & asking if we've found jesus. jesus lives in the garbage disposal & eats his fill. i always say, "i have too much butter cream to deal with salvation." then i hang up. i hope they think about it for years. i haven't eaten an animal since high school unless you count the spider that supposedly crawl into your open mouth as you sleep. this is probably an old wives tale but i choose to think i'm getting more protein than i really am. i am so in love with someone right now that i would burn down whatever they asked me to. every day eco terrorism seems like a more & more viable option. we could live off the land i think as i microwave the nuggets. a ressurection. i am trying to bring them back to life. "rise!" i say & the dinosaurs return but only as voices. calling like flicking a lighter & not getting the satisfaction of the flame. i don't want ambition. i want to spend money. i want to have the hollow bones of a bird so when i fall i turn into a cartoon shape of my history. instead, i collect myself off the kitchen floor. wipe grit from my knees. turn the dinosaurs (again) into compost. eat chick peas from the can. write a list of ways i can worship my lover: fresh cut snap dragons, a bullseye, and a kiss put in an envelop so that it will turn into a moth.
