Nothing (Somewhere) by Cecelia Blum

In a burning orb

On a bed of ice

At the supermarket for $4.99 a pound

 

Can run 

Can’t hide

May migrate to Mars

And Jupiter, in my dreams

 

But here I’ve ran aground, unable to dislodge

I die but I won’t because someone will take

All of my places

 

At the end of the day

When the glass doors collide

The asphalt parking lot so painfully bleakly beautifully fatally

 Infinite 

 

Crowdfunded miasma of crude oil

I love you
