After watching too much
of the discovery channel
you start to wonder why
we haven't developed
some kind of manual
for making ourselves glow
like really glow, not like
some fish or like Alba
that genetically engineered
rabbit, but really, really
to have this energy in us
and for our eyes to bleed
from so much love,
I remember a picture
of me, long ago, my eyes
ablaze, and I wonder if
I can still look at someone
with those eyes.

It should be a book,
it could start with
a numbered list which
you could read alone
but then flip to a chapter
if you needed some help
with some particular
section, some directory
of internal bliss manufacture;
and people could show
each other what pages
they have dog eared
late at night, in hushed tones
or I suppose, if the book
actually worked, we could
just do it at parties, on
subways, whatever.
