Pop Off


A soap bubble sits
cradled in his hands
for a little time
until the clock chimes
look - the game is up
when a finger slips
and the video game
in slow-mo stops:
the soap bubble pops.

Ownership


In my possession
are two lungs
- quite valuable, however
they inflate.

And, in deflation,
they let an estuary
of breath into an ocean
of sighs and mouthing voice,

human tongue
- myriad.
