Roadblocks

Given said variance, rather my side of the orchard,

is it merely about the hookup where I’m legislating

other pods in daisies, an enormous yellow grove

between the gurney and the exhilaration of Formica

in her eyes? One touch of my hand, the gavel lands,

and she’s constellated. I wandered through a feverish

belief in teeth biting grass, in half-awake moans.

Across the city of night, breasts, waists, throats pure

as punctuated skies. I took Mr. Blue to cafés, spoke grief

to all the distingué faces, also too, in the fly business.
