fondle and pull
recollections of a lonely wanderer
from a rotting bog of garbage
earnestly
the thinness of life
in consumerist complicity
well wish
hole in the chest
anger
books & space
weakness
thinking and forgetting
tiny cycle
small wisps around
the nerves of the brain
or whips
canned food
dry feature
compulsive
smoking
monitoring
Tuesday aubade
electric light
coffee & the men and women
who grew it, picked it
got it here
form foam
cartoon
cat and mouse and dog
and history
to be interested
the international phonetic alphabet
cultures and nations
living in temperate rain forests
and the ocean
rain
walking and getting wet
no longer having heart attacks
on a train, but thinking only of my book,
its words.
i used to look around searching faces
(as I do at my home
personalized computer society
mass arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge
Tuesday
October
cheese and beans
breath and hole in chest
the last barrier is
this red pouch I roll from
big black boots
boring clothes
I think about her every day.
