Roman Ryan

Interoperable lives
somewhat mythical knives
cutting both and both ways
both and both graves

Where there is a parallel body
there is a parallel body
and interpolated carols
follow the sun to the dark

May we join at the rejoinder
coin another loitering pork barrel
become like a legislative analogy:
bridging nowhere by contract

And I do not want it to end
this series of verses
as the things I do not want
always win their matches

Against the things I do
