air
and flame
A cracked flame
By the window pane-
Banks eating
Away what taxes don't-
Clothes in the wash
&
dirty slippers on my feet-
Books to my left
I've never read-
A book beneath me I
Have smiled about
In my sleep-
Pictures about a boy
Who knows his girl-
Broken underwear in the
Was as
The dryer sits in
Damp-warm air-
This,
As the flame and I
Tease the wind of
Right now.
