new blood suspends

in nearly comical swipes

the scene hovers

just bodies, not lovers

ridiculously hang

falling, but never move

we live a million

scenes like this

in our museum

of memory

always somebody else

holding the torch

pike and whip

never us

these dioramas

pay out as fact

evidence currency

from this memory bank

its tellers tell her

that if she'd only join

that frozen scene

she just might avoid

dropping that

promotional toaster

into her lap

at bathtime

a posable truth

hangs in clear gel

each of us curators

acrobats of the

mid-impossible

pawning our blood

as fact evidence currency

in nearly comical swipes
