mapping a GLOBE 


Screaming child,
Continued conversations,
Bouncing heads,
Throwing out the trash,
Getting another bloody Mary mix,
Drunk executives,
Dying baseball stadiums,
Ears holding back March 1,
Eyes screaming on strained vocal chords,
Melting water on the cords above my crotch,
A dog doing back flips in the cool of an
Afternoon light blue Arizona baby pool,
More magazines than the world can read,
Reflections of fabric,
The lie made up by Tice,
Running women in kaki hose,
A phone before me that won't let loose,
Her smile imprinted in a book,
The noose of a nose diving like crazy,
Napkins bleeding red dots,
The map
Falling
Off the globe.
