2013 Post 16: Dirty Water

aromatic leftovers
in unprocessed clumps.
blacker than coal,
older than sunlight.

adrift in the currents

of an ethereal ocean
wafting on hydrogen breezes.

soak up the sun and 

do laps, lazily. 

feeling indestructible enough

to ingest some cyanide

and methanol

but better keep plenty of water at hand.

physics and chemistry,
reason and rime.
