this seems to have become the way I now listen. the notetaking. then the sonnet. and so they continue. although it is may.

 

“Let me recite what history teaches” (Stein)

i’ve never done this before, come up

with a job description like a good

stubborn plagiarist, approachable

depleted but it’s only spring

so break the mattress the waitress

at last be generous with your form

arms extended always giving

like the rendering of Jesus on the walk

to center city just one experience

of tempo of self-proclaimed pastoral

but i do not hear a language

need all those signs to need me

 

first turn paragraph to portraiture

embrace the nod & greet basis
