out of nowhere

​love drops by with a jarful of ladybugs
and a bigbag of Fritos
has to have hotsauce
on everythingeven Fritos

love is unexpected
tells us she originated
from a roster of diagnoses as long
as the unitedstatesconstitution
and the lovers who came
some heavyhanded all
a disappointment some
of them now are the ladybugspots

tells us all this while we are enrapt
we would follow her anywhere
into the jar, down the hole
she wears a sunlit halo askew
​when she wants to and it makes music

and just like that she's
out
glancing at the rearview
the ceiling is painted with ladybugs
and it’s morning
