Especially if stock folds short . for long it can't
remain devalued | after the first Behold! bare
wanting whispers whip around about tire rotation.
See why even
bell ringers consider rope extensions ? at 9.99 no
swing miss.
For all the rotten luck The best I could! why curse
the Maker? If it’s any consolation look at the baby . all
forgiven once those eyes look back.

"Two years fighting the City Council to keep the stray
animals he provided a sanctuary for, Ahmad remembered
traversing the streets at ‘ungodly hours’ picking up animals
in his van; feeding those he could not accommodate… He
would also remove and bury the remains of carcasses left
on the highway… After he was hijacked and his vehicle
stolen, he stopped his practice.”
~ Trinidad Guardian, 2001

Done . with Miguel St. poor sighs ‘n’ style . valleys

at the lowest tide they’d fake delight, bend at fires

Days . when troubled head repair hands knew
what cloths wrapped well | not far from yard child
mothers vacuum . cycles shadow promise room
full ease; perfect wonder what it is, you understand.

YOUR THING-SILENCE
And the least scrawny things about you
your Chinee calves, but they weren’t half as big
as your brother’s bigger than your father’s.
Maybe your father wasn’t his father.
Your father’s nose was big too, not as straight
as your mother’s, and she was far ‘fairer’
than her Chinee man brown like tea without
enough milk: he didn’t ‘draw good’: born so!
The Buddha had thirty-odd large tattoos
and eighty minor marks: he was different.
But everyone in your world had been made
the same oddity, each a different shape
