PLANET ELIZABETH
by April Halprin
When I pass her in the hall,
I’m pulled into her orbit
by words falling like stars,
…..sentences speeding past,
…..meteors careening into each other
smashing into thousands of
…..half-begun
……….never-finished
……………thoughts.
I only meant to
say “hi”
but I’m suddenly buckled into a rocket
accelerating towards Planet Elizabeth
at warp speed
