If you get the bumper then holding it the right way doesn’t matter.*

        Somewhere in the secret hills an ancient grave is slowly giving birth
        While images of beasts carol and adore.

                                                                                —Gerrit Lansing

Outside it looks like a Tokyo storm
where Tommy Lee Jones is boss.
I let go, check...and it’s real.   But

I can only go 15 pages.   After that
it’s all supposed to go together,
right?   The mind is endless

and meaningful.   Or simply,
Boys in bed machine the
book of wheat until

it sings to fly.   A whole
poem stolen just to
get it through.
