i want...
by t. zoEy benally

i want...
"i want" is a meteorite
hurling through space vacuum
craving more mass
desires a sun to revolve around
ends up burned
in friction flames
in atmosphere
of a real planet

"i want" is a weird word
more bizarre
with each utterance
chewing gum
stuck on your nose
toilet paper
adhered to shoe tread
furled out kite tail
