Carousel by Kori Sayer from the chapbook Dr. Turpentine

I dreamt my life in terms of science


last night I threw a cigarette into the black blue
and you caught it 25 miles away
I'm grinning like a maniac into hair and rain
as you bring your arm back down and strike a match
We're talking through seemingly occupied space
seemingly... right?
wrong
this is one of those hard to perceive angles
where you are bigger and more dimensional
than your surroundings
that perfectly deceptive angle
i pose to one side
like so
and you do the same
when we do this
everything else is flexible
the stars will spin in circles
and the trees will go flat
you could be in China
and that ciggerette would still make it
to your mouth
because when you and I move
the earth stays right there
gravity doesnt know we're meaning
to let it win the race
we like it fast
we like sitting on that bench
and having the world mold for us
