#1

number one is riding too

fast on a bike

down a steep hill

under my sworn intention

in verbal composition.

never forget the icy

mint fresh of number

two which is falling

after a snowflake or

number three which is

following virginia woolf

to closely.

nails hurt like

hiding in a

baskin robbins

washroom

or pretending to make a phone call.

feeling trapped cooking

out of rectangles

i always forget

the date when hinges go rusty

and cabbies at midnight

listen to drag

on the corner.

number one-hundred and fifty

is a summer day

in an oversized stall

made of steel and dry whispers.

number two hundred and five

is an official testament and

high water pants.

number twenty-seven

is musky body parts

and innocence waiting to close and go home.

 

 

#6

busk in the subway to

romania for unbearable

weight that you were told

was light equals innocent

to helping the woman with

her recyclage with

the neighbors cat swimming

in a swimming poll

with a blue chandail

on the spy nect

door with mustard

on rye fashion agencies

behind closed curtains

in saint petersburg which

was really lille on the

final voyage to the

blue room of painted tiles

and handmade cards with

photos of st. nick for

secret composers for the

union is protection of

fallen women and destroyed

compositions and lost daughters.
