from Agnes the Elephant
from Asteroid
••
deafness, a catapult
into spaceness—light
makes what you
call something
••
the place you are
in is also in
space I don’t care
if it’s inside or
even if it is
true you’re a
fish I’ll
never even see
••
catapulting bodies into
space saves lives
in the future
we are then what bears
are now
what are bears
••
Je grandis cet
espace qui
ne me grandit pas
••
between the cats
and the hedge
is us in a
space of things
and the moon is
on my list of things
