antigen shifts h5n1

antigen shifts h5n1
a quart of wheat
for a day’s wages
and Mt. Kilimanjaro’s ice caps melting
ten years in the future
Einstein bibble
writing letters dropping bombs
diluting the Gulf Stream
with Goldie Hawn’s gums
Washington spiritualist movements
tapping on the kitchen table
Lincoln lifting coffin lids
of his dead children
taxidermists
don’t use
my skin
my elbow skin is perfectly in tact
coffin lids coughing
what jokes
before your dead grandfather dies
from diabeetess
