Potato is a Number Card

potato is a number card
“send our garbage to the sun”
he weaved
she wove
they weaved and wove together
trumpets blasted apart the real
a scab formed and was wrongly peeled
the nest out back
in the ambiguous tree
fell to the ground
it contained two small blue eggs
do you ever contemplate the fact
you’re not just a son or a daughter
or a brother or a sister
or a father or a mother
or a cousin or an aunt or an uncle
or a friend or an employee or a boss
or a
or a
or a
but that you’re also a solitary being
amidst other solitary beings
on a planet in a universe?
if you haven’t done so
it is highly recommended that you do
as it is a way to get in touch
with that part of yourself
that leads you to that part of yourself
which is divine
and what a shame it would be
to live your entire life
without once recognizing
the weirdness of being alive
without once feeling awestruck
by the fact you are alive
