Intangible Dueling Chamber

Fiveheart

The worms populate the
sidewalk when it rains.

 When we are under
 showerheads in dark houses.

Before the people invade,
the worms are synchronized
symmetrical
beautiful

The worms stretch out quiet,
toward high-
or at least nonporous-
ground.

They communicate to each other
elastic on the cement
each end equally a tail and a head.

Then the people invade.

and the worm-art is disfigured.
Those not pasted are split or double split.

And the halves ask the halves:
a better death than drowning?
a better death than drying in the sun?
