| The Mosquito’s Improbable Schemes & Dreams |
| by Ralph-Michael Chiaia |
| rain chases in droved mosquitoes to
make the living room busy airspace like Tokyo, London, or New York: blips darting and blinking on a radar screen beeping and blinking; chart their around our ears with that whine, around planets, through galaxies past lakes and baseball fields parks and their seesaws people and their sunscreen girls and their shrieks paparazzi in the trees. Then the slaps: smack! whoooop! krrrrtcchhh! blood smears, screens tiny spaces now important one flies up out of the drain hovering like a helicopter (alarming similarity of shape and function) with that whine words themselves are built of mosquitoes knowing the name of each thing makes it real makes it hold together not drop into rain this thing this language this virus this contagion, transported by mosquito. |
