bits

"That last little bit there at the end
That's where the magic is,"
he says, while surfing in the water closet
As true for anything
it's where the word oomph was born
On a cold night in December
Pumped full of information

software encoded for cumbersome travel
pumped fool and full of seed

Like when galaxies kiss,
so slightly
leaving mar and mass

fireflies in a salty jar
all just mineralized for tribute
instruments of sap and moss
unswarmed and made to transit
