          (super-
loud!)


     And Buzzcocks sing Breakdown, too unknown
     To be banned by slick mixmaster
     when hair hung golden or

     black is the floor
     & the walls
     were velvet.

                                         —Chris Stroffolino

Too hollowed out
not to make the
noise of death,
unlike Dad’s
whistle (super
loud!), which
would often
occur seem
ingly out of
nowhere,
like how
my writ
ing has
become
almost
too pat 
ernal.
