52800 (a poem)

Damn
skyway
world.

Ate fingers before they
turned blue, fell
off.

Where else?
he
laughed.

Shopping mall innovating cold as
fuck. Who else’d think that
up.

(Rhetorical.)

First,
mega,
longest.

Cidade de glass
egos, paths, panes, broken
squirrels.

Pneumadic,
pneumonial,
nice.

Cannon-balled through cracks
in ice, on VHS, over
Lutefisk.

As fuck.

* A free verse ode to Minneapolis-St. Paul. Inspired by my recent discovery that the indoor mall was invented here, along with this: http://www.startribune.com/biggest-skyway-system-in-the-world-minneapolis-is-about-to-get-bigger/366130581/. The title is the number of feet in ten miles, which is the new length of the Minneapolis skyway system.
