mmmcv

the silver spoon

the fountain’s fantastic
tinkle underneath
the fake dates

yesterday I watched
a bank heist with a
horrible plot

the ring on your
thumb is silver
and I remove

the glass of
sparkling
ginger ale

from between us
I’m an uncon-
vincing author

of fiction
COCA-COLA
I wrote a novel

in which I pretended
to be a sultan
NADA

LITERATURA
in my dream
I was drowning

in the creek in my
backyard with
that book

in my grip
was muddy
with crawfish

my banks
teeming with
crabapples
