I’m sure there is plenty           I’ve forgotten
and one day we’ll all be          this
man shaking his fist in front               of me,
livid because thousand           dollar bills are
discontinued. The cicada's                              wake
from their naps, scraping        to the surface,
foiled and foreign. Desire                   is found
in absence, as we crawl                           out of our homes
still                                      wanting.
