Some things I have read recently


- If you think of a torso as a box, you can see
how someone might want to open it with his fingers.


-We listen to the accordion players kiss the backs of each other's necks on the radio... Brunibar unscrews his wooden foot, and I gently climb inside.


-When it gets lonely, I sit by the river & read. Correction. There is no river. Mostly, I read.


-Tonight the moths are beating the shit out of themselves against the screen door.


-In danger of being understood
Too well, they gathered up

Their orthodoxies and made
For the sugar hills. A nite

Of piecemeal anathema,
Backlit by bubbling overs.
