at the checkout with my ebook

there were thirty five thousand photos

I had posted on facebook             in five years

so when you saw them all in the one place

as a book             it had this effect of restating where

my gaze went            each day as the world turned

 it was the garden           until the sky bore down          into the bones             

my B cells  bombarded with a bitter poison             slowed

that  wrong thinking outpour of antibodies            so  came a slew of selfies

the uncertain face of one given to a steroid habit

of ballooning            facing off the moon for roundness

I am looking        narrating

what cannot be estimated

it is the dog years next

 above the mandarin tree the moon hangs       less a slice
