"The Subject."
It's as if we've just been turned human in order
to learn that the beetle we've caught and are now devouring
is our elder brother.
And that we are a young prince.
I was just going to click on "Phoebe
is changed into a mermaid tomorrow"
when suddenly it all changed into the image of a Citizen
watch.
If each moment is in love with its image
in the mirror of adjacent moments, as if matter
stuttered.
Then, of course, we're restless.
What is a surface we ask trying to change the subject?
