Don’t Look Up

The name of that lake,
the Russian one;

if the pig-hearted man
still lives. When my

pie chart of what
I need to know is

complete, scratch
on my plaque: she

was one in a hundred
percent circumference.

Some kids broke into
the mausoleum, threw

the bones around,
which is one way to

see a thing incomplete
with context. I was fine.

Seems old-fashioned,
even, now the cave

is hard to find behind
the wall of googly eyes.
