Is stoner a sexuality?
Ward of youth,
the clap
of a door as I exit
near the river where
boys jog to Beyoncé’s
Beyoncé.
I wonder what her
search terms
for feminism were.
To locate
a body
of work,
you uh. Uh,
being stoned
is post-linguistic,
like way too high to speak
or in excess
of the pleasure
of thinking,
it’s never enough.
Being bodied
in fragile language is OK,
Beyoncé says.
Um sure.
In the mean time
can you free me
to not be dumb
or is this it,
the one world,
crystalized at
the ghost level
of Bitcoin,
an economy
of restrained glee
held up
at the door with a cocktail
from a stupid bar
blasting Drake. Later,
en route to Manhattan
under the high rises
I think of Kenzo
models in the gray,
rise of blue
in delicate colors
of designer
couture, as magic
as a Fabergé egg
recovered in time
for Easter. It’s
“moderately sunny,”
the Easter light a pale beige
over the city as I speed
up on the BQE
(as the cab speeds
up on the BQE)
with the sun fallen
in its blue
behind me. I remember
you vomiting on me
last night
in the cab
and for some reason
I thought it was
really cute.
