MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS
Except the sound is brutal and the feeling is quiet
Drink a ten-dollar beer and remember:
crypto youtubers getting messages from god;
shoes off for the state;
girl peering into the heart of the cannon.
No notifications since last connection.
REDEEM
Today is the last day I will think of you.
A heat-seeking missile has a goal.
Tomorrow I will change my sheets.
Champagne elephants will lull me to sleep.
Yesterday I told my mom I’ll be home for Yom Kippur.
The radio blasts something stupid.
This life will move at a pace I can understand.
