there would be no more asteroids
if we kept calling in sick
these days no one seems to notice
large objects unless they find them themselves
so much are consumed with a
singularity
envisioned as a hard-pressed diamond
strong and small from pressure
knowing full well that the diamonds
as big as fists come from something bigger
than people
becoming enthralled in the business of
occupying the searching self with
small objects
Beyond gratification there's no fuel
maybe no short cut to saying it out loud
Maybe more important things to talk about
when desires are.. referrals
