in the future

here on these water skis
tentative as a decorticated cat

just picture turquoise water
palm trees of course
and anything else you like

do i like water??
knowing so little
about how to go in
this condition but just
a rolling in the waves
any waves
seems you do
know some about
water skiing mm
wanner teach me?
decorticated cats
climb out the basement
saying-

ITS ALL RECTANGLES
STILL ALL RECTANGLES
WOOPS ALL SQUARES AND RECTANGLES
WAKE UP THERE ARE FLOWERS IN YOUR COFFEE
THAT YOU’VE HAD IN IT ALL ALONG
I WANT TO SMELL THEM
AND I’M GOING TO PULL IT OFF
AND I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT
AND YOU SAID YOU DID
BUT I NEED TO KNOW
AND I BUT I AND
BUT AND BUT I FEEL
FEEL BUT DID AND DID
WANT TO DID THERE BUT
DID AND BUT I WANT
YOU SO SMALL SO FAR
ME SO YOUNG SO NEW
LIGHTS STRUNG UP AROUND THE BAR
AROUND THE STREETS
AROUND THE LAKE
AROUND YOUR HEAD
NOW THAT I AM OUT OF DOORS
WIND BLOWING AROUND THE STREETS
BLEW ME OVER HERE
GOT ME DUSTY FUR
SCABBY EARS
WANTING TO HEAR YOU
ANY WAVES
LEARNING WELL
TO ECHOLOCATE
LEARNING WELL TO CARRY 
SWEETS IN MY POCKETS
