Today is your advocate

I encouraged everyone to invest in you

Long ago we were a migratory phenomenon

So in love in dark little simultaneous conferences
And hot steaming bubbles of automobiles

Thrilling to far-flung places armed
With metaphors for social responsibility

We were a phenomenon known as ‘immovable minutes’

You circulated five million stolen moments
Capable of communing instantaneously

With what we were soon to be

I miss you; you left so suddenly
I still have all of your once-fringe issues

Rammed like a disease down the throat of your barometer

It’s a universe unto its own, all right
As I dreamed again you were dawning next to me

“It’s all about flow,” you said
Announcing the delicate technology of your luminous hips
