Find Your Appetite

Dancing shoes tap you

to a vacuum of newness.

Samples advertise, serve

in satellite dishes. Shoppers

In waterless

synchronous swim

Peruse aisles of hieroglyphs

eying furious calm. Witness

The blossom of atomic

energy in an asterisk!

The cashier is beaming,

teeth screening television.

Her fingernails click, flash

illuminated cuticles.

Folds of fiat cash

close in an open palm.

Organics are electric and music runs

clear. Reheat. Release. Appear.
