They Remains Opaque


A surfer or two who’d found and ridden other breaks

just the way the world is for a girl

was too green to conduct a proper defense,

grow it, process it, bring it in, step on it, move it

in a trailer and have ten children!? Is that the plan?!


I'm not comfortable with the idea either,

trying to keep alert for one of Bigfoot’s rude

emails the President receives or sends. As well as

the speed at which the world came at them,

I can make some contribution no matter how

we’re at war but they don’t understand against who.


Much do they weigh when they're that

uncommonly eager to be done with

holding a smoking gun.
