Confluence of Great Relevance

Saturday, March 24, 2012



We were not ready for this recent spate of tears.
The buffet was stocked, an expanse of late styles
and the line grew clear: it it was loudly noted.
Six persimmons drawn in a row of out of fear
around the overpass: I know it’s not safe
to buy drugs from your car so far
so far from credit-friendly gas stations.
But I do love to see you, who garners day by
day the good of life. After the hurricane
on Monday, at what time will the courts re-open?
I wove a briar arch, and for twenty minutes I thought,
nay, I accepted fully that I would vomit
in my backpack while riding the bus to my first day of work.
I would describe myself as having read,
having sat patiently by with two fingers
held to your temple; so I am there when you awake.
But I can’t tell white girls apart.
