if one was truly
inclined
to love

one would,
happily,
and without restraint

but here—conditions,
jaundice,
patina

a sutra, a dervish,
a Buddha
you ain’t

Kevin Trent Boswell is a thing that once blinked briefly in and out of existence. It made noises and gestures while it lasted. The exact nature of its demise is unclear. Some sources say it collapsed beneath the weight of entropy and time. Other tertiary evidence suggests the possibility that it was destroyed by a predator, an accident, or perhaps even by itself. The truth of the matter is unknown. Luckily, no one cares.
