the canary was returned
to the store
on the intake form
I wrote: "upsets the wife;
not predisposed towards lou reed
the electric muezzin
changes notes
the steam out of window
precipitates
the evagination of thought
the sign on the shop
($-ɑ-妈
makes the inside
match
the outside
game oven.
there will never be
a pair of jeans with a
crotch
reinforced enough
these are the things
i will miss of you
when I'm gone:
1. the heartrending innocence
with which you sometimes say
"panties for my underwear
2. you raising my long brown
hair to blow on the back
of my neck on a hot day
3. how (half asleep you command
"turn around! and hold on
for dear life
that day we walked
through the confused streets
speaking in tongues
and nothing but names
of swedish things
note to self
