Foraging for paperclips
On the moon
The clerk alphabetizes
Piano concertos
By tone.
Enumerates the asteroids, some standing like an upright bass.
Makes a note: a foolish nostalgia for the 1980’s is the hobgoblin for neoliberalism.
All the while on stilts with a telescope, the clerk bird watches.
Clouds in the distance like the blushing of elbow smashes.
And so foolish are these ledgers
Chances are
They’re true.

You do a wonderful job of creating alternate realities, the elements of which are both fantastical and somehow familiar.
