The Names of Racehorses and Boats



The names of racehorses and boats
Are kind acts of randomness. 
Foghorns, Urban Fruit, Walking the Cemetery, 
Shadow Dancer, True Dat.
I am an island, a memory catcher 
Closing the book on flowers
Pressed between its pages.
A nomad in situ
Firmly on the spectrum
Drowning in the metadata.
A writer on the storm
Golfing tennis balls
At the driving range.
Once upon a time
I smoked pot
On the banks
Of Walden Pond
And slipped into its waters.
Trash, recycling, compost.
Champagne problems.
Burritos for dinner,
Tattoos for dessert.

Focus, People.
Let us commence
The pilgrimage
To find
The holy algorithm.
And as we tap into the madness,
Let us all write love letters
To each other.
