i keep looking up for your face in the stars but constellations have only ever looked like spoons to me     by Stephen Michael McDowell

i am an insurmountable task
assigned by a suburban landscaper
to build a machine unwilling to self-assess
any aspect of what it was built to do

so it tramples the desires of unknowable people
jokingly and with, um, reckless abandon, i guess

you are the opposite of this
an unknowable future
you squeeze the light from wild,
personal wastelands
i didn't think you would be that good at this job
