III

This looks like a good place

to build something ugly.

Let’s do it. A snack

shop. Let’s erase

the board. Who can build

faster? You could fit

a hundred cars here.

It’s only a house

some guy lived in

fifty years. And it’s so

convenient to downtown.

That old theater nobody goes to

anymore who cares if it’s

the last theater like that

in the United States?

Knock it out so we can build

a bank that goes bankrupt

in two years. Don’t hang on.

IV

Some days I can’t lift

the glint of worry.

We go around together.

Soon we will take on

each other’s names.

Already we bathe

in the river of lost shoes.

I fall into photographs.

Someone lives inside

those windows. Someone buys

the last world-famous

golden lemon cake in Honolulu.

If you tasted it,

tell me.
