ONE

I decided
surprise me
was a better motto than
I didn't ask for any of this

a fisher price record player
a sputtering radiator
the splash of passing headlights
on the bedroom wall at night

chaos, bliss, mucus,
dissonance, music you can't dance to,
darkness:
in the beginning there was this

I never tired of trying
to put new objects in my mouth.
I discovered I had toes
and I wanted to devour them.

Hungry, and grateful
with a new moon mind,
unable to sort this from that
or favor that over this.
