Articles in checkout line magazines
about old men that claim
to have had sex with alien women.
Sometimes upside down while caught up
in tractor beams.

she sought out back alley surgeons
and technologists to give her better eyes.

she got the operation that she wanted.

in a bathtub full of ice, blind
because there never was a chance.

fence surrounding her father’s farm,
and him having stole his brother’s keys
to pick her up on a motorcycle.

to hide from the dark in its warmth,
but it won’t stop getting bigger;
having reached a point to overtake it all.
