Aluminum

Sometimes I dream
In aluminum

I dream in aluminum
Molten possibility digitally rendered
As the mercury lava is printed 3D
I dream in aluminum

The quicksilver's destiny
Fluid shiny until it stands
Self strengthened
I dream in aluminum

Multi mutated form stretched
Beyond lawn chairs or awnings
Candlesticks and chandeliers
A world where everything

Is made of aluminum
Entire houses and rooms
The cast aluminum bathroom
Kitchenette wet bar lounge

All aluminum all of the time
Oh yes, I dream in aluminum
Gathering cans until the die
Is caste
