The word of one

(August 2023. As I set out with the blue bus from Lockhart towards California and eventually Alaska, my good friend Laser launched the new daopoetry app update that allowed colors to denote different authors. We played around with the new feature to write this poem together. Bold are my words.)

The word of one
inherently other
vibration as a form
of meeting meaning where it last remembers
leaving it
a part of oneself mis-
placed, membered, more than one
Some number forgotten
Lost ephemeral digits dancing across the
synthesizer and a genius dj in europe
discovering the secret sounds to perfect
the song of himself in a harmonious whole
lot of selves, discounted, fire sale, premium
Persian silk fit for Antinous and every
inbetween
