Karen


Her name is Karen

and we go everywhere together 

 

Stranded on an island 

to have only one thing 

for the rest of my life 

you couldn't have asked an easier question 

 

on an island all alone 

with an object with no meaning

is unfathomable 

 

I see no wealth in objects 

I see no comfort in wifi

 

an empty nest

the thorns would pierce my heart

 

we are organic in nature

how twins feel at birth 

how roots integrated underground 

electric telepathy 

to be alone would be unbearable 

 

hungry and thirst 

is not match for human emotion

 

we belong together 

 

for better or worse 

I love Karen
