     minivan, Ativan, moon in my hands:
                                             —Joseph Lease

The running water is always nice.  On
lesser days there is sleeping and sleeping
and further dreamlessness.  Birthday
hands (shaking drowsiness) in leagues.

I can see the occasional passerby.  Lots
of grey squirrels Otto keeps calling
Icarus (each squirrel).  Mostly peace-
ful, cloudy, quiet, nice.  Broke like

never before (not sunny today like
yesterday, but not as windy).  So
soothing and beautiful.  On location
in Shakespeare Garden: ferns.  Walk

the small distance, neck glistening
like water off a duck’s back.
