POMETIME! #1




Shape like you

I'm watching your arms like daylight
tenth of teeth, so what
are you telling me, list all

times you speak, you speak
to me rarely.
What's that? Ten little indians:

I'm scared of you. Can't tell me 
myth is drain basket, wasn't eaten
and wasn't washed away,

has a lot, or a lighthouse would be nice
with water, excepting I need you, the 
other except we've teased each other

for years and I'm bleeding in the nose
which I haven't ever done. 
This feels good. Something really dry. Hey you. 

Heavy chicken broth, cultlike watercolors 
in perpetual renovation, birds about
suspicion, birds about you, roof

is closed in rain you are listing 
plastic bag as sculpture, ridges 
exhaling in the larger plastic trash bag

slightly more important. Can 
you hear the mouse scraping through
the floor a blur I think it's morning 

now it is can't tell me we
rule the lakes and graves where 
tigers copulate doesn't leave me with a

lead, lost. Couldn'tve helped much. 
What are you? Fake plastic? Unguent? 
Love to talk, talk to love so cheaply

blurry in intentionality, 'cept it's 
better, and maybe we'll lay that lake
pretty easy, they say.
