We have too many numbers for da da I just broke the bag

wood is attacking me it scratched my eyes

plastics like me it lets me open the grapefruit

juice bottle with my teeth

You know when everybody looks the same sometimes?

Sea water,

rain water.

You old dock.

I remember it well

maybe it was summer and they walked

into the dark kitchen and turned on the gas

The gas lamp? Or stove?

Stove, and made tea.

Everything I like about this place is because it reminds me of

something else

And the way you can see every square centimeter of space, because it’s

so small

What a wind-fall!

You, the mountain!

We clip and clod all the lay of your land,

you swift horizon, thou!

What Is Ink in the water, on planets of rain.

Go down the old track and eat the apple back.

Eat the apple where it fell.

Eat the crab-apple wet in the grass.

Eat the crab-apple brown in the grass.

Eat the apple where it fell down.

Eat the apple on the ground.

Full of worms and red and brown.

Eat the apple every fall.

Eat it raw where it fell down

full of half-worms, red and brown.

Eat it in the fall near the road by your Aunt’s house.

In our ways we have all been lucky

been luck row row, with luck in our wake,

in our rows lucky this way; of course there is a wake,

of course there is a fall, of course a rutted track,

a dusty road, a track, a wake, a furrow in the ground,

and only costing thou thou thou thou thou thou

thou sand names and not

much cost at that & all the cost at thou

Name any Victrola record

this is a wish fulfillment

Roses are red

The way you can see anything you want with your eyes closed.

Come come oh draw your face

the natural world

is coming to a close

come come oh draw your lungs

we won’t need them where we’re going I swear

it our lines will run in and w

e won’t stay 0n the pages w
