he knows what
overfatigue
means when he picked up
a malfunctioning e-scooter
that he knows is
still working
is it urbanism
or how you've got
your act together
when you believed
everything
has exchange values
like a mosquito bite
unprecedented
likened to be love
and hatred
analogized yet
misinterpreted
like Anglicized verses,
corollary and made
convenient from every name
and designations,
just to conform
always readied,
like ready-made canned
goods and razor blades
we have a thing theory
that teaches these
machinations
ready to love,
ready to grow old
together, perpetually so
we are mistaken
when we ejaculate
on sacred ground
finding that spiritual
transactions are also
in spirit cooking
later we found
so we chose to stay
while The Other chose to go
