first a girl becomes a quantum particle doing
jumping jacks in Balmer series/ then we say
the girl is invisible because a rivulet
of benediction flows in her umbworld
she tries fitting herself into a model of utopia
mornings pour into the day like molten gold
suckled from the sun/ like Klein bottles
denuded from their disorientation
she is driven/ driven by her therapist's
addiction to alprazolam & times
she plant a boll of torment
in her own garden
driven/ driven by her friend's ability
to swim while she drowns
drowning in tears of yesteryear
& the gas that fills the air
when her mother cuts onions
now she is stuck/ stuck in a limbo
& an endless perambulation
of penrose stairs/ like vectors
in Hilbert space she is trapped as
a placeholder/ driven by the days of yore
a staccato of sonic booms forces the girl
out of utopia then we say amen to living
in seclusion/ we say: dear lord if we are
to die let it be on our birthday
& should our body be cut to pieces
open a breach & thrust us into afterlife
as if to save Alfonsina Storni from drowning
or to say: fender-bender cannot kill doppelgängers
