Incoming freshmen have been taken hostage,

the letter to the president began; we demand

computers and art supplies; limo service

to the Gathering of Nations; the sum total

of Pell funds released at once. Benildus Hall

is our headquarters. When the SWAT team

surrounded the building, someone pointed

to the small print: Happy April First.

The mind seizes a spore then releases it.

Descending into the Ming tomb, I discerned

electric lights; a cold iron railing;

people shuffling down steps; camera flashes;

people shuffling across, up the other side,

then out; but nothing was at the center;

only now—the moment when water from six

directions is water from the six directions.

A neighbor listens for wings before dawn;

plums begin to begin to drop from branches.
