Cleaving to Success

Cleaving to Success

Flourescents glared under the painting this morning--
ran parallel, charged on, and shone
on the clean black dogwood frame.

No one hated you or
started hating you. With
infinite expansiveness you succeeded,

no images kept--
dropped within the walls
unfinished for a time

yet properly diagrammed, dropped
just as a goldfish, away from the lake
and onto the floor of the actual moon.

You died in a movie theater, woke
upsidedown with your head made of newspapers,
stomach against the round white pillars

and your double's feet stood up
next to you:
a shark slipping out of your best pair of slacks.
