darling these days i'm jealous of nearly everyone the serial killer is a motherfucker because his trial is nationally syndicated i covet the photon because it knows nothing other than the speed of light tonight my only wish is to part my hair like a head of state i envy the fireflies flashing morse code for everyone they love i shove a firecracker in a frog's mouth and i wonder what men have learned from splitting atoms i shot a hole through a packard in the woods and a copperhead curled out like a flame i felt a hole in my chest with a white carnation blooming out so i dropped the carnation in a bucket of milk i am presently covetous of the tallest tree in america i envy the pistol i threw down a well and the night a bell tolled in the trees i covet the sinkhole that swallowed my lover's apartment the horse running the field has a sack over its head i covet the voyager probe leaving our solar system just imagine the old man weeding his garden the astronomer naming planets after every woman he ever knew
