coffeehammerman steps to the edge of the map

so, looking forward from this house to the next and I'm thinking about how to make my footprint smaller. how do I make it less permanent?

standing next to other equally small mammals on the field of capital and cooperative love and thinking: how can we make this even smaller?

even as I'm typing into the eyes of unknown faraway points!

well.

here's another one:

endoftheworldpoem#1

locals are loud
tv is loud
door is loud
kitchen is loud

cartographer from east Tennessee yells across the less than 12 inch gap between himself and the isle of palms ex-deb twice removed from the shared joke and the smears of the past week
both shift uncomfortably and unknowingly from that then into this now
both are larger somehow

how do i small myself into a less recognizable box?
the echoes are too locating
signals too responsive
i'll get on the next wave and sidle out sideways into a less vertical hab

looking for a lighter fuel
sniffing out the fainter gas
digging a less shallow hole
and the locals dive into preformed habs
and the kids all question
and the answers are all the same less
and the walls fall apart

and the tape recorded message spat over longest wave is as heavy as the gold in my box

then we go to sleep
forever (ofcourse)

thinking about how it all might or will end? respond. thanks.
