Untitled by Phil Primeau

things don't fit together
so well

magnetism decreases

swans lift like water
but generate no electricity

come home
& put on nick drake
shower then remove the cassette

eat a bowl of cheerios
against her gravity

wait for blood
to thin bad rain

    Simply brilliant.
    I agree about the swans, and I particularly love the ending.

    Interesting pictures painted with words, an especially vivid image of swans lifting like water...
