paste! Initially, you look out your window:
A nymphomaniac sun
beating the hides of vegetation.

A little bit of rain in 309 minutes.

Cramming the wallet, keys
inside the hazy curls of a desk drawer
so you can replicate

and go back to embryo catatonia
smack square in the pink rivers
of Utero Amazonia.

Years pass, the first time you’ve stopped
for anything other than gas
to buy some crumb donettes
and a map of the area.

You wish you knew someone
with hands to remove a bruise.

It’s supposed to be once every 3 or 4 years
but the horses are helping us now
and they leap from rooftop
to rooftop as often as the eyes
authorize it, which is lately
twice a day, so we are lucky

A gust bashes through the window
to make a curtain
into the cape for a nameless agent.

You sidestep to the desk
and write her first name
over and over
on a lined sheet of paper.
