SOMETHING ABOUT WATER
There’s something about water
one time my mother bet me
she could tread it longer
After I saved her I told her she owed
me twenty dollars. this act was a
demonstration of my superiority
Jesus should have been a woman
my generation could have their own
immaculate conception
I could point and say
that is what is holy
I am losing faith
I wanted to fuck myself into oblivion
so I stayed high until
I had sex with the Hubble Telescope
We held each other afterwards, talking
I worried earthlings wouldn’t understand
it’s hard to shake off the space dust
Your mother wanted me to take her religion
she cleaned our blood with carpet stain remover
on her knees she scrubbed like a lover
Once I wrote about girls I turned
into bubbles. I wouldn’t catch them,
let them float away
I lied. I popped them
watch them turn into
stain on red satin sheets
Do you remember the time
you were mad I couldn’t come?
rub two sticks together make a river flow
I encountered a sign at the end of the
universe that read “Welcome to the Weird Zone”
beyond there was nothing
