oranges
warm milk
suede

crooked lines

toast

a series of gestures

left

acorns

snotty tissues

gingerale

------------------------

clean and dirty

saw you early this morning

you are out of reach

dirty shoes leave their mark

think you should follow their print?

of the feet that can't stay still

it's more like drowning

better you swim at least till the afternoon

.................

he's got clean clothes

but his shoes must always take him

they get the dirtiest

kick the dust to conceal something that might have been stationary

a single face

another time, stopped clock

always a stranger in the place

--------------------------

too many jams

Aren't you just like those men in a Godard film

always waiting

the next best thing

will suck you dry

feeble bones encased by

you-who is always sure

waiting and fleeing

thinking you left that woman

behind

with striped dress and dark shades

she left you in the dust

of your own exhaust
