Do you know how porcupines copulate?
One covers its face with its paws and the other flinches
when its spines break the sherbet sunset apart
into thousands of baby porcupines who type datasets
on silver laptop trays that resemble the hardware of the dead.
In orgasmic flight, they enter Walmart in search of goldfish crackers, toothpaste, hair dye, pool floats, and Hallmark cards.
Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams and all future digitized
systems of contraception contain vast spores of leprosy.
Yet, nothing stops the porcupines from procreating.
They are too good for us. They close their eyes nuzzling
the next century with ardor. Lo! They don't
understand us. Open this card: Happy Birthday, Grandma!
