Field Theories - Samiya Bashir
Consequences of the laws of thermodynamics
When Albert Murray said
the second law adds up to
the blues that in other words
ain’t nothing nothing he meant it
not quite the way my pops says
nomads don’t show emotions
but more how my grandmother
warned that men like women
with soft hands blood red
nails like how Mingus meant
truth if you had time for it
facts if you got no time that
years pass. Zero
one two three and
the man you used
to flirt with you
no longer flirt with
thank goodness.
He’s now a man
you can’t wear
your jaw out on
about weather
news or work
a perfect
strawberry
buried
beneath
a peck.
Paleontology
I step from the airplane. My hair melts dead air. I walk quickly: click-clunk, click-clunk, click-clunk. Barbara Jordan, bronze and sober, glasses poised, the last me I’ll see for three more days and three more days forever. Outside I slow the click-clunk to a three-sound crawl: click-clickclunk & etc. I am a woolly mammoth waiting at the cab stand. I am a woolly mammoth stuffed into a cab. I bear the long silence of my own extinction through the rear view. My head on the back seat: horns akimbo: I melt dead air. Blame humans for the loss of large mammals like myself, a new study suggests. My cousin tuktuks my husk to a dry diorama. The radio blares: The tide is high.
The radio sings: I’m gonna be your number one.
