Change. Coincidence.

Robert Ronnow
The Imaginary i

Change. Coincidence.

Last leaves.
New movies.

Amazon.
Ramadan.

Passover.
Thanksgiving leftovers.

Dante’s Inferno.
Milano cookies. Cervantes.

Failure.
Manure.

Amateur.
Curators and entrepreneurs.

Ancient night stretches.
Backward without measure.

The work days march forward.
Reversing the future.

Horrible how we die!
Wonderful how long we live!

All will be given.
Spanked and forgiven.

Nevertheless.
Emptiness.

Notwithstanding.
Expanding universes.

Fruit flies.
Fireflies.

Forest fires.
Midtown towers.

Mother Theresa.
But with a beer.

EMTs smoking, joking.
A body left on a gurney.

Kinnakinnik.
Chinquapin.

The strange coincidence.
Of number and verse.
