the nasturtiums

their leaves WERE pretty,

“what time IS it?” as i

loved to ask …

the chair fell thru the cracks

i sat on the wet spot

i stained the pelt with the juice of the fruit

i saved twenty dollars i lost fifty euro

thirty six cents

now i hated now i loved you

the time accounting statement

with its minus and its plus

its columns of calumny

went on and on and on

credit me

on this patriotic day

with my “dignity”

as i exercise my right

to “do not like”

o stupid stupid energy of words

all those summers i courted you

in tank tops and bikinis (in clogs!)

but i do not like you either
