Poem: Aerodynamics Of Desire




AERODYNAMICS OF DESIRE
/ TECHNOIR

I was listening to,
I think it was Seamus Heaney
being interviewed on Radio 4,
he was saying really poetic things
about how he relates to the
real things of the earth,
like trees,
the oak, birch, sycamore,
and willow

and I got to thinking
about the names of
things in my life
that I most readily
identify with,
Sanyo, Toshiba, Honda,
Mitsubishi, and Sony

these
also, are poems
