Stay in bed till
three pm
My underpants – dead elastic
Deli cheese and seltzer
Because the progress
of a sentence
makes me anxious
Rainy days, sick days – Given
the limitations – Praise!
This box life –
The falcon
will not leave its hood – Knock out
every powerline
By four thirty there is a rosy
spin on time – dizzy head – Even
the dust, the least, glows
What’s to come? Consult my modern auguries:
the gyre of clothes in a dryer
Pornhub random button
the ad for what you just said
patterns deep in white noise
