Mark Dennis Anderson Reads
That Thing About Inner LifeThe clouds this morning are doing that thing
where they roll along the horizon blacking out the sunrise like some ominous distant mountain range like I'm out west not stuck in this flat middle and this run to the gas station is a wilderness expedition and this fear in my chest is fear for my life because beyond that tree (street corner) or across that river (stop light intersection) a mountain lion (tan sedan) or grizzly (black SUV) might be doing their thing minding their business until their business is my business and all this business of living crashes and collides like galaxies or atoms or lovers doing their thing that looks like destruction but is actually creation until all the things quivering with relief lay trembling on the floor |
