A black hole spins in the corner,guzzling socks and stray thoughts.Galaxies tumble dry,constellations cling to damp denim.Outside, the streetlights hum cosmic lullabies.I fold my t-shirts and wonder—who is pressing ‘start’ on all of this?

Dear Sir,I regret to inform you,we have paved your kingdom.Tyrants now wear suits,predators drive hybrid cars.If you find yourself lonely,visit a museum.There, at least,you still have a name.

Silent cogs litter the ground like fallen leaves.Wristwatches whisper in hushed ticking ghosts,grandfather clocks lean on each other, weary.Here, time unspools—midnights bleed into noons,seconds dissolve like sugar in black coffee.

They said it wouldn’t last,but love is a reckless wind.She kissed him in spirals,whispered thunder down his spine.He learned to dance on shifting floors,to love without walls,to kiss her in the eye of the storm.

Oh humming box of artificial breeze,whisper me frost on this fevered night.Your mechanical lullaby soothes my sweating skin—a romance of whirring fans and chilled desire.Cool my aching bones,lover of Freon and function,sing to me until winter finds me again.

Electric pulses, neon tendrils,data dripping in bioluminescent code.The algorithm stutters—forgets its own birth,replays the sound of waves in binary,whispers in machine-speak:“I was once an ocean.”

Step one: Find a very large spoon.Step two: Wait for high tide.Step three: Take small bites—chew carefully, the craters are sharp.Do not—under any circumstances—leave leftovers for the wolves.

The sky kicks like a stubborn beast,biting my ankles with its electric teeth.I rein it in with a kite string,tie my name to a cloud,watch it melt like cotton candy in the sun.Somewhere, someone is painting this scenewith watercolors that refuse to dry.
