Tell me voice, do you have values? Who knows? Come apart in my mouth.

Values wait for your tweaking, call your name. That’s when I try to leave.

You’re just in from your birth! We don’t need ways. We don’t want bright futures,

I’m not that person now. It’s not random, but it’s not what they said.

I told him I wouldn’t vote. You’re a woeful pullulation like that,

cry out for power when we’re all entwined, an electricity,

reconfiguring charge, jolt of juice. We were not reborn to vote—

I choose darker sounds. Don’t you want part? Automatically

you kick in with a hiss. I like it when you want to argue hard,

deceptive asterisks spit out of space while you shriek at us all.

Messages are uncertain, but not joy. So you keep talking there.

The earth of the strangers. When I arrived, this time, we had no roots.

Just as well, it’s so red here at the dawn, I’m moving in with chimes.

Do you like clarinets? I like walking. This is different now.
