My cousin ate a typewriter
Four floppy disks, an IPhone
I watched keys gears circuits
Scratch down her throat – she
Slurped copper wires like
Spaghetti: somewhere a mechanical
Sunrise cracks creaked creases
Down my banana belly – I
Was struck by lightning
9999 times too few and broke
Before the final jolt
Could course through the ionized
Rivulets of my veins – enough
To jump start my cousin’s
Binary blood.

We will sit outside at noon – I’ve heard
Solar power is the new photosynthesis
Let the once motorized sun spin
The cassette tape back
Into her – it got tangled on
The copper wires, obsolete.
