A Sail is an Anchor of Wind

a sail is an anchor of wind

every time she enters the room she acts like a morning

a morning is a hangover

a hangover is stress caused when your body is earlier than your mind

stress is situated at the top of the spinal column in a bone called the atlas

the atlas is a map of the boundaries of the world's pain

the world's pain is distributed unevenly; its dissipation is the steam that powers commerce

the steam that powers commerce is entropy

entropy is disproven by life

life is the tremor of a dragonfly on a teacup

a dragonfly on a teacup is a collision of primeval grotesque and modern mundane

modern mundane sounds like a garage band with money

a collision of primeval and contemporary quotidian is a polite letter to an ex-lover

an ex-lover is an unzipped strand of dna

dna is an abstract

abstract is orange

orange is a shape

shape is the name we give to the forms of things that have no shapes

the names we give to things become things without shapes

the shape of names is a rectangular manuscript page

a manuscript page is a sail of paper directing a gust of language

a poem is an anchor of mind

an anchor is a sail of dirt

full of wind is how she sails into the room setting the morning alight
