How vivid and how real and human this is, Doug. Haunting and from many

pain is so personal
unless it’s so public
it’s something more than pain
all those bodies in
or beyond it
we feel for & at
that distance do not _feel_
& our own a cut a punch
or something more
& longer lasting
that _hurts_ that
haunts our nights
physical presence
in the body
& so in the mind
until it’s over
gone & only
remembered as like
until the next time
when it’s new & sore
all over again

I go down to the Twilight Arcade
and watch the Martian invaders,
already appalled by our language,
pointing at what they want.
