ZONGS OF ZAMZARA

earthly love is not

anything but a bunch of

lies

humans are lower

than animals

how do I know this

i’ve waited all my life

i wasted all my life

with magical thinking

pulled it out of my hat a few times

such an amazing trick

earthly love

the great trickster

how could it be any

other way

dust to dust

the only love that’s real

is out of this world

not of this earth

swirl

my finger

in a glass of vodka
