—
I pretend to be sleepwalking
I have special kitty powers
the gold VCR on the moon ejects blood
I can’t press play my hands
build a bird out of rare flying books
my brain is exhausted
the brain is a source
of renewable energy
the mail comes in waves
a poem about a plane crash
falls into a forest
disguised as New York
the clouds never change
the ceiling is boring
