A GOOD MAN

Right beyond the Whiskas and stuff

2nd left after Dependency Needs

Straight along past the Goldfishes

Balsamics Baking Supplies Batteries Bottled Waters

Now left again before Party & Poolside

ASK!

But what the hell is

—can’t make out your writing—

“Filé Powder”?

INTIMATION AT WEE SPINNEY

My Title—

1st from a boggy

Lie sailed O sunlit

Orb slightly trapward

Ere my deft in

Sideout 6-iron

Sweet slight bend

To within 2' 8" but

What’s left for me

Now eye ask?

You ’wake?

Listen what came between the Accord hatchback

And the yellow Volvo DL wagon? Sort of

Gray with a little ding

Low on the door on your side?

Funny to ask when I’m looking at my dad’s

Malibu here plain as day.

—Ambien

Well, back to the old salt mines, I guess.

Grow grow grow grow up up up up up

Their Shih Tzu died
