Old Fashioned People Sitting on Rocks
I am a wallowing wasp. I am a
desperate desert. Cars, riding.
Red flowers inside of the hair
Songs to give: It will give a reason to live
It will give independence.
Street songs—and how the two
words fit together. Before I stop-
ped wanting you. Before the
eyes became terrified. Merge
singing songs of streets be-
fore before, And walking
before the walks were there and
us and you and if I understood
and lost the number and fell
cringing with pain and laughing
you look down and
say you are well
your eyes are small
the need to live No need to live.
There is a box in storage in the storage
room. Take them—somewhere.
