E ---- quake - June 24, 2026

whatever you do

don’t say that word out loud

please   

do   not   say   it

 

we can talk about emotional

tremors you may have

my shaky memory or

any specific or general instabilities

 

we can take our time discussing

all those, as much as we want

 

but the earth’s plates here are so

stressed now, why put them over

the edge with inuendo and gossip

 

you don’t want to be responsible

for a thousand years of rage

released

in a single moment
