A Time Space Thing

This design is bracketed
in smush powder by a hydo-gaming
device making the loose ends meet.
The design is deemed "splendid"
and "ashy." A cowboy shirt
with crinkles masks the expense
of lake swimming, gadgets, the thumb
print of avocado fat on the beveled mirror.

I'm so into your thin husks
of key lime. Squirt gun medicine,
greasy ammonia stream, Pop-Tarts
full of detergent. I'm listening
to your music as I walk past
the place I lived before you
were born. The design is secure,
it's a time space thing, I built it.
