Last Minute Television

My arms want to be bubble wrapped
And shipped to a friend
Just for a break, just for
A joke. The ribbed back
Of my La-Z-Boy is labial
In its pulsing, parrots bobbing
Over a seaside sunset.

They say if the red eye of Jupiter
Were on earth, there’d be no Miami.

How could a destination unravel
So easily? So damned credibly?

Look at all the overturned boat hulls
Bobbing in the surf.

So much packaging.
