You Keep Calling It Love But What Does It Do

 and maybe its idleness is sin / fullness of the chest / wastebasket overflow / such klaxons of the lung / riches and unflung rice tight in miserly fist / fists / the size of a human heart / where love dwells slovenly / but always ready to declare itself / a kind of indecent exposure

 

but what does it do / what does instagram do / what does posting a snap do / what does #selfie do / they come / selfie as mise en abyme / audience of hydra heads / forked tongues dabbing / dregs of the view list / who's here w/ me / in the fading afterglow / the mercury dropping
