      		642019


      “I wrote something
      today,” I told the
      caterpillars on my desk
      for the six hundred
      forty-two
      thousand nine-
      teenth
      time, clutching words
      in my fist like a
      loose-leaf cocoon, wings
      beating hard at my fingertips like
      they want to
      fly. but
      I peeled the paper
      back and watched
      a brown moth
      twitch and die
      in my hands
      and
      god
      damn it, crumpled up and
      tossed it with the rest
      of the failed
      butterflies.
