Specimized

4/7/2022, as Quillifer would have said, "I made it up"

Specimized — from Latin, from specere ‘to look’ and the Greek ‘to render, make,’ a transitive verb form

Remember when he taught us
I Am, and I said,
“Like a portal, we’re finally here”

Better prepped
this time, when Saturn comes
around looking for a fight, dressed

in hospital gowns designed to
specimize us, with his eyes 
tough as loam

watching, we become paranoid,
crows caw ill-intent,
of course, Saturn and The Crow

despite the rustle
of leaves after our exit, go
about their business, no -

thing,personal or banal, nothing
but a reminder every moment of
every day 

despite the denial, the seamless
production, we’re making it up,
acting with assured permanence

we forget
we are not
impervious,

we are
porous,
a portal,

a wind blowing 
from entrance 
to end.

No worries y’all, I’m fine

Much Love,
