want to talk with a twang, take your
edges off all y’all like soft leather
dead ahs drag open over your tongue
or stops explode like a jump in between cypress knees
a smooth rivah, this talk
live sounds in your nose like water

We so pro. We
talk slow. We
rent hooks. We
catch looks. We
glow yellow. We
throw hello. We
call collect. We
aren’t gone yet.

Sleep today; today is sleeping.
Kids are playing.
Sleep today; flags are
waving. Opens are closing.
Sleep today sun
is leaking park is edging.
Columbus is crying, the natives are
hiding.
Behind walls an all-night poker game is all-
day playing; the girls are long-skirt tambourine
dancing.
Sleep today. Dangers are safe-ing.
Grass is growing.
Moment is waiting, cracks
are sparkling.
