The Oration of My Birth
The top-heavy desktop skated on a luminescent leaf.
While the curtain swaddled a blow-fish until full red,
the bees drank the mortar of the apartment blocks.
My blanket hadn't formed for a while from the cough syrup dripped on the Twister floor,
but the fabric filled the curve of a bubble wand.
One clothes hanger bent out of place
to poke a fried chicken breast awaited throbbing,
other than the broil of a stuffed bunny too puffy to leave itself in professional football.
The silk worms toiled together the medication droplets
and accepted the desktop's invite to the frozen yogurt shower.
The stuffed bunny grabbed the sheet and giggled sporadically
because of a tangy overdose.
I was there,
but didn't know what to think.
Grease the same for milk.
The blanket drugged me asleep.
When I rose, my nose had settled in five-years old,
and the desktop had settled with a tower,
and they played math games with me each time Mom popped in one rainbow.
When I was born, a luminescent leaf slipped away
and stumbled into a brown fall.
The monitor returned for lunch and dialed up a beeper from the east town.
An online encyclopedia digitized clockworks like these,
and the fumbled blow-fish pricked the window.
The pane cracked and sucked wind through to its aura of technocracy.
A breeze blowing past the screen, then replacing leaflets for an assortment of keys,
retrieved the AOL.
And I was born to the breast of tender fried poultry
from an unread inbox
as the buildings reduced to the sum of their parts
and the bees splattered a mouse with goo.
The mouse's idiosyncrasies flustered the desktop to convergence among the wind-puppet keys, the nectar mouse and the beeper that had seen to the desktop until the leaf of fall.
"You've got mail."
I lied on my back in 2D.
Waited for the blow-fish to send release.
The blanket fluttered over the monitor, recoiled,
and at once, I was an intoxicated baby.
Though I didn't take a mother,
I took a chicken breast in heavy breading.
Then, as I said,
I awoke at age five.
While the curtain swaddled a blow-fish until full red,
