heat is a revelation

growing right below your chest bones
making any sense of it
is only half an answer
so you dig more
without preconceived direction
turning away
once and for all
from the canned explanations

easy dogma

needs to go out
and run a bit

there used to be

recipes for the masses
before the stockbrokers
took over the kitchen
result is not edible

the body politic is an incubator

growing life and disease
simultaneously
taking chances
can be a holy act
