Dust of Genes


A comet swings around the sun.
As the comet heats up,
it will spew dust.

It is flexible, in slight ways
to better accommodate the kind
of repetitive history tools.—

An opportunity to explore the body’s markers:
The genes that are switched on or off.
—An attempt to understand the unknown.

Cylinders of Beams


A key that may unlock antiquity
was engulfed by lava, destroyed,
and turned into carbonized ash.

The body has already delivered details
of historical rendezvous.—
New pictures are about to be taken.

New beams convert metal into material.
—A technique that does not obstruct light.
—A technique that can capture the sun & the pulses.

Oilman’s State Small


A cluster of attorneys spread terror
but no major divorce proceedings
have been recorded. Temblors

rejected momentum, enjoying…
whatever. America’s magnitude,
blunted and rattled the judgement

of an oil tycoon. In a defensive
conference he said, “Islamic earthquakes
paid my rejected wife $1 billion.”

Easier Than Said


They lifted the sea and that was the next.
If you have three choices,
you have three choices and parts of January,

nearly all of January and nearly all of Sumatra.
You have a survey and parts of the ocean.
A column of seawater to have unwrapped

is not the worst of it.
To be the worst of it, to be fully the worst of it,
is to have to rush back to the seabed in a little morning.

Fast Animal Artworks


She's the most recognizable woman in three dimensions,
but which is the portrait, and who do we see
when we are picturing mirrors everywhere?

The researchers think a lot of which way up they are,
as they manoeuvre to the Louvre, to the Louvre, mother,
like metal, like the difference between bats and batteries,

we gaze at the world through moldable portraits,
charged by a dust compass that can store a neural moment,
explains the woman with the conductive head.

Has Competing Features


Louisiana's new product that can plant itself in rifts
and seas is locking green horns with neighboring Texas,
these giant plains that share almost a rectangle.

It can only be purchased online through bodily fluids,
and anyone sick enough to worry about it
is sick enough to know it's working.

The finding is that oceans don't know what color they are
(green, green), or that they know it but only share it
with someone they've previously showed it to.
