yeah I’ll calm down,
but I don’t recommend…
I am not
unbreakable…
Turn off the lights
before you fall asleep…
this morning
it seemed like a good idea
to dump the clean laundry…
what is truth
but a transient glimpse…
5 conversations swirling around me,
4 chambers in my brain…
write a poem on your cigarette…
drive left-handed,
right thumb and first finger
roll pills from sticky rice film,
residue dries to fingertips…
bare tree branches etched
against bright blue…
did they say
miracle,…
