To Rod Moody-Corbett
snow makes the same sound as
dirt
when you throw it on a pile
same makes sane
I lie
on a pentametric bed of nails
the strongest syllable
it pokes me in the ribs
this train
it goes all the way
down
to el ey
while here
with a squelchy thwack
the paintbrush lands
upon my canvas
and in the corner
everlasting grout
zooms in on the minute
finches dream
the paint inside my hair
makes me feel preternaturally young
the carpet matches the drapes
order settles over the universe
