It happens

Beginning
to wonder
about the possibilities

of
making something
out of nothing.

Strewn
beneath this
curtsey: exists, naught

One
But, two,
Possibily. Three. Hay(na)kus

In
A row.
But who’s counting?

What
I am
trying to say

Is
I hear
A murmur. murmuring

Behind
the syllables
A heart.beat(s)

Of
Words trying
to sell me

A
Package of
Girl scout cookies

As
If I
Could say no

To
this confectionery
extortion: my soul

Opening
In exchange
for some buckaroos

Loss
That I’ll
Surely, regret later.

When
the sweetness
has dried off

My
Tongue/ delights
for more. sweetness

But
Nothing is
Left. But this

Poem.
regurgitated/ original
a bulimic poem.
