Vine’s Rhinoceros
(an achizm that’s almost awakizm)

           I felt good that I had eyes.
                           —Joe Brainard

In the quiet room: “I asked you
I asked you I asked you a
specific question. You didn’t
answer the question you just went
AROUND the question.” Then “YOU
think I’M flirtatious?!” Then “What
if I WAS flirtatious with the professor
who was flirting with me?”
…    …    Long Pause      …
I guess she hung up.

So let’s clunk…
“How behavior light” (folly)     …
“(How behavior light!”)

…    …    “Hello? Hello.”  …
…    …    OK                  …

Suspicious of the vines, she
broke the rhinoceros. The
vines that broke the clouds
with the eyes.

I sat up late at night (top bunk #13).
I shot up in bed.
I woke up to shooting up.

If you spit on a toilet
You get nothing but
…       a spitty toilet.

The toilet, the vine, the specific question and the eyes
… … all went right back to the ache.
