nervous customers in lines of two
make every check out girl offer
a downturn. remember nothing
this sequence a photographic_
is losing all its frames, a ceiling_
another nervous face a brick of plastic
face of berlin drum face of berlin
through the tile floor, pivot and his
displaced stone came up. look at
the cement grain. where are the pipes?
you can’t see the pipes. you might hear
the pipes_ how’d we get up on the chrysler
building? how’d we get this bike up here?
how’d we get our hands untied?
dead man’s curve ahead, all children
know it’s time_ dogs to die.
