"Marksman"
Whoa look at that A sweat bee big as a warbler
It could mean that the terror is true after all
and it’s all your fault Robert Oppenheimer
the animals are enlarging from radiation
But no it’s a trick of distance the bee is closer
and the warbler picks it off a crack shot
"Anxiety"
Anytime zeros line up the fear of round numbers
sweeps Europe and America you remember America
but it’s not threatening it’s like a speedometer you remember
speedometers and no a jellyfish trailing its tentacles
is not coming apart things are just seeming inauspicious
perhaps final but after one rollover it will be like before
odd numbered lake surface of asterisks scattering moonlight
clouds of lovesick dance flies above envious aspens
