The Classification of Living Things

This is you fate.

This is you day

This is you un-supposing.

This is love falling                   unfalling,                                or falling-in-love.

You might do some explaining: sweetness, this is the day you want to want.

Think:  we are the shortest story ever told.

Eternal. Nocturnal. Unearthingly harmonious.

No matter.                                                                                           hush

*

From the first. From the first moment. From the first moment we are

inspired:  it is already enough.

That’s the place:  a center.

Let me tell you:  I can become anything.

I place the hour there. And there.

You:  an odd moment.

You:  make me stop.

You:  don’t even.
