What it was like to live now

What it was like to live now:
appliances snap in the electric kitchen
a paper plate loaded with emeralds
damp wires emit words
LCD membranes a chalk block
tagging walls with various exotic fevers
an orange kitten springs to attention
bells ring in a forest of metal objects
a hand lit by the moon curls
around your own idea of patience
is changing daily it starts to rain
as someone kisses every inch
of your body and you are transformed
clothes mean nothing hours mean less
at the river's edge
mud squishes between your toes
and you get calmly lit from within.
You just got got.
