That Big Old House Has Roaches
She expedited her ventures by staying put
as a single particle may interfere with itself.
All the doctors threw their hands up,
unaccustomed to this quantum illogic.
The seasons then belonged to her, cinnamon
and gravy, drags from cigarettes a guest left,
she, pinching the snubbed butts like bugs.
Forefinger, thumb, carapace; she was chaste
as the wind and whatever was blown with it.
The insides went first, veins once knit
lost their opacity. Soon, visitors could see
through her, like a fine sheet of mica glass.
For several instants a day, she became two places
at once. But really, it was just a geometric trick.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the above poem, save the phrase "cinnamon and gravy." I like how it sounds.
