I Said God Damn


by Peter Erich


the space between two antelopes 
is a canyon, 
the distance between two shoes 
depends on how hard you notice the ugly one, 
the time between being strange and uninvited is 
that it already happened to you, 
your understanding 
between the most important thing in your palm and 
its counter weight 
is your grand misunderstanding of 
quantum entanglement,

(you keep forgetting that love is a spirit spinning on two intertwining vanishing points, that are unmeasurable, unmistakable, and will punch you in the face with their absence.) 

leave your prayers in a Walmart and 
hold your neighbors unfamiliar hand. 
the castle of snow is fried. 
the space between two cantaloupes 
is an antler 
and I have nothing more to tell you.
