Alphabet City

Her cookie tray is always out,
she decarboxylates a lot

I take a warm cloth
to the soles of her feet

I wash away the weary

I wear the same 
shirt inside-out 
every other day

Fuck China

The petty would dominate all of our lives,
if they could...and they do

There's usually one high left
in the dimple of the bag
if you really want it

The brushstrokes for the bird
are those of the leaves

How many times
I have talked myself
out of euphoria

cc: CC '22

I try to create planes,
horizontal and otherwise,
upon which to ply perspective

at times I succeed in emulating 
the fantasy about me

I often lose my edge
in the wash

deluged, thus I fade

I once created light so real,
I cried

my shadows are surreal,
but they are convincing

I consider all things visible
along the banks, what's overhead,
and reflect those in the water

By the height of the crest of her wake,
and the ever-increasing size of her form,
I could tell we would soon collide
