dcliii

Black-clad morsel

She can make it to Lee’s and back;
she has ten minutes.

A table full of mild acquaintances,
strangers no less.   Giddy sailboats

sail Transamerica on Montgomery;
turns out it’s just a “trade” consulate office,
so we can’t move to Canada today.

This is poetics?   It’s all about knee-jerking
war and romantic cravings,

Ghost Dog.   Leave it to
Beaver in his new outfit and

scrunchy-face.   How do they get it so smooth?
Such a tapestry, fomenting
solid left indent and

nonchalance, pools like thread.
Pick up the (virtual) iron-on

crossword puzzle
and spoon like a river.
