The Little Red God
When I said,
“I’m playing Pokemon Go”
He said,
“Aw man, you should be looking
for ‘real’ portals.”
Soon after,

the difference between theory
And ‘real’ practice.
Rain is a Hard Consonant
Rain hits harder when
Letting World
In without judgment
Or an outside.

a fix of innocence, first thought better thought, a literal and obviously conscious stream, patiently drawing lines through mountains
daring to say babbling brook alliteration gently describing a ten thousand years voice breaking and bubbling
our cultural anomaly of living second to second by making all seconds, the same. It took her only one rainy
season to smile, but all human history does not yet understand what she implies.
When this arrives, I’ll be there:
