Thank god the electricity came back
Lewis put on jeans
lived there for months at a time
I see the word
three hundred and ten pleated
towns it passes through
The world of nature
caged and said
place is understood
Your first reason to smile
consider the first paragraph
Entire place functions
Paris at that time
arriving in Tokyo
Manhattan has a loop
Reasonable prayer
blackened their contours
a woman’s curves would be revealed
light and movement in a camel coat
Her wardrobe
a class of high jumpers
he had no spatial skills
louder than normal
underwear, eyewear, perfumes
Anyone who wasn’t
two foreign wars
thinking about food
Good many sound
almost certainly
regularly by phone
Strike Down the Man
As a room receiving
the soft drawl of cherries and plums
the road became ridiculous
with his taste in silence
Whatever America did say
my yellow hair alone
put a dime in my pocket
This sensibility emerged
a boat in the backyard
of continual astonishment
He said something like
“we’d rather go on fighting”
Who’s to say they would
kill the royal donkey
Even standing as we do
caught with our fingers
in his actual presence
I didn’t bat an eye
poachers have memories
Cook had to sail
her hair blown out
tumbling off her own footwear
Cook didn’t just redraw the map
her checkbook
the natives didn’t notice
the message of the place
she is a seamstress
Cook and her men
sweepers and traffic police
where to put his furniture
I was dreaming social sciences
red dress
Cook around the world
hand on the neighborhood pump
enemy lines who sing an endless observation
such as the printing press
it’s not easy to do architecture
lost inside her own apartment
it all comes down to class
she must behave decisively
fire at moments
something like a science
I’ll tell you what Cook had missed
as it happened
hey tropical fruit and flan
distance rather than dramatization
stressing syllables seemingly at random
involuntary body language
shoe-related fatalities
two as the impossible
a liquor trolley
aspirations among the ordinary
signaling each other
an orderly city
