Amoeba Love

O my Beauty,
Let us live
Wild and free,
Like two love-locked amoebae
Who found each other lippy,

And anciently sexual,
In the great pond
By the sweet gum tree
In Alabama
In 1942.



Let us love
With wild abandon
On the peaks
And in the canyons
Of the nodes
And creases
Of the blue Lillypad
The rest of our entire, natural-born lifespan—
The full, eternal, binary-fissionistic, fantastical 22 days.
