please get drunk now, white wine, and read Linh Dinh -- please
eat popcorn, desultory
please go clink! against the bowl, the bracelet, the popcorn
please slide into terrifying
after work, before you read this again
please back up (the tow rope is broken)
please have your brows plucked, descend
please start with this premise
(look for yourself, yourself)
please find yourself there
please contact us if you are possible

"Dislocation of sense"

I want pajamas always
the color of tonight's sky at 7:17

(you be the moon
_____a half smile)

"not 'realism' but reality itself—"

Ella says: you got pajamas!

Don’t Eat Your Dreams

Don’t eat your dreams. Such stuff
as they are made of
is not to be so easily, so readily
consumed.

You come unglued, in other words,
they will consume you. Strings and all.

Other options palpitate
the surrounding malaise. A sibilant
stretch. A leg of alternates — or ;
Don’t let the inimitable
get you down.

Because this is the stuff we are made of.
The expert will tell you what you are made of.
Here is the expert.

Your life has been determined to be
unreadable. Don’t eat your dreams.
This tentative smear.

Why was everyone more beautiful in the past?
I think I am pointing at something.
And then, I’m already there. Yes, there.
