Cultured
Cultured
Like Petri dishes
Moving from state to state
Country to country
Picking up new strands
To add to its building mass
Cultured
Like buttermilk
Thick with the excess of their experience
To marinate
To bake
To drink in
To taste in many ways
Until you grow sick in the stomach
And want of something light
Cultures
Like virus
Moving from person to person
State to state
Reframing the expanded mind
Unable to assume its original dimensions
Adding to its building mass
Cultures
Like blood
Flowing in deep veins and arteries
Through capillaries of transmissions
From heart to heart
Wring it out, see what leaks
What is left?
Culture
Of one
Of me
And you
Now two
Adding to the building mass
