New Flavor
When the thing is seen
it can’t be lost: open door, lips wrapped
around a mirror. You swallowed
something sharp and now
it’s boring.
Tearing clothes apart,
the new technological cheerleaders learn what it means
to be disfigured.
Our persons, our web of skin and sloppy hair, come together in enclosed spaces.
The world, mostly reactions
then consumed.
I have a new flavor
called flesh.
On the park bench you give birth to a sensation
not unlike nothing.
Anything which isn’t inhaled is not worth having
