These words are not meant to be read
in their entirety. Skim them
the way this plane skims the cloud layer,
jostling sometimes, jarring us
from half-sleep. Pass over them
the way your eyes drift over headlines
in airport kiosks — words that give a sense
of pope and president, stock fluctuation
and civil war. That way you can take them
how you want to — to make or remake
to be about you (which they are)
or to not be about you (which they also are).
