The Weirdness Magnet

Erin Abernethy

You have a weirdness magnet
It sits inside your head
It sucks in strange phenomena
It pulls me to your bed

spider-strings & angel-wings
the stories of public strangers
whispered like confessions to a faceless priest
dying clocks and sentient rocks and
circles in the greening fields
conjunction upon convergence upon coincidence
and all the streams run full and flood
when breath and blood break
dry and brittle

but you…

You have that weirdness magnet
that sits inside your head
It sucks in strange phenomena
and pulls me to your bed

like a 3 a.m. porch full of pigeons
the halfheard voices in some back corridor of the universe
Aztec dreams with books in streams
of consciousness

(And you never scream.
How can you never scream?)

when the
mathematics of order
become the
numbers of chaos
and the agents of fortune paint signs of synchronicity

I know you know…

You have a weirdness magnet
It sits inside your head
It sucks in strange phenomena
It pulls me to your bed.
