The Day Everybody Died

Put your middle finger
in the middle of a bubble
in your bath of bubbles,

baby, if it's no trouble
kindly use your finger
let me out my bubble.

Go slowly, softly now,
you made a hole,
you are the bubble

See the streaming
light careening reflective
prisms and rainbow
negatives under the surface
of your skin,
I meant bubbles,

How many colours can you count?
That's how many people you can trust,
how many people it will take
to overload
your head with troubles,

and if it didn't burst
you're in the goddamn bubble,
remember how it started, babe,
a middle finger
causing trouble.

Intense. Don't quite get it all, but I'm betting I know what kind of trouble a middle finger can cause.

it starts with a frightening gentleness and slowly builds up to "you're in the goddamn bubble," and then eases out in the last two lines. i don't know. i'm definitely missing something here, but the technique you've used makes it all worth the while. very delicate piece.

Meanwhile I talk to myself, as one who has plenty of time. No one tells me anything new; so I tell myself to myself.
