One Night Stands

                               (Achizm #2)

 

Transformations

can occur (to

the transformed;

to the spectator

of the transformation)

as immediate, an immersion

into inversion, yin becoming

yang; yang, yin.  The cockroach

lies flat, content, as it (mostly)

covers the nuclear reactor.  The

nuclear reactor sits silently in the

distance, chugging, as if making a

joke of its very own silence, of the
cockroach atop it, here, in the middle
of a state that lies somewhere in the

middle of a country.  All passersby

pull their automobiles over just

to spectate; to participate.  It is,

as always, a beautiful day.  Each

of us are part of the beauty, and

so we whisper:  “Gorgeous!”  “Ama-

zing!”  “What a spectacular day!”
