SUNDAY PAPER CLASSIFIEDS
for Pablo

Cloud Seeking Cloud

For Rainbow Genocide

Must be able to speak four species of bird

including pigeon, seagull, and hawk.

No stratonimbus mood swingers please.

Shape-shifting as a hobby is a plus.

NO BUTTERMILK GOD COMPLEXES

—shifting into someone’s dead cat

to make them cry is not original.

I enjoy creating phallic restorations,

                    tornado teasing farmers,

                    and stealing spotlights from all things blue.

Willing to trade skills:

          Airplane rattling (a good laugh when someone pukes)

          for the art of sunset making. (I can never get those rays right.)

Must be lonelier than I am.

Are you with me?

If so, meet me above Mount Everest tonight.

I’ll be floating next to the big, glowing white magnet

on God’s black fridge.
