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.

-- Ali Znaidi

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.”
