she asked me

if the birds talked back to me

she asked if i saw things

other people dont

she asked

if i thought there were aliens on earth

she asked me

if i believed in ghosts

she asked me

if i thought something strange

was going on

when i was a small child
i was obsessed with ripleys
believe it or not
where i  read stories
of strange fantastic people
who swallowed glass
walked on fire
layed on beds of nails
and seemed to live

in a world i had never seen

but was curious to visit

im still obsessed with wonderous things
but my questions lean less into the circus

than the obvious
such as how two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen
in the shape of fingers allow me to type words
that travel thru electrical wires
arriving on your computer screen
where your eyes made mostly of stardust
read my thoughts

despite the fact

i have no idea

how i was able to send them to you

on the internet

and yet
i can see my grandfathers smile
smell his redman tobacco
and hear his banjo playing cotton eyed joe

even though hes been gone

25 years

and the dream i had hour ago
of losing someone close to me
has slipped away

to the point i cant even remember who it was
in the dream

yet i remember the summer day
when i read of a man so fat
he had to be buried in a piano
and all i could think of

was who had to

give up their piano
