fiction fuels veins


a new script
bleached with wind
of written
suppositories
a festooning pride—
the restless dreamer, discontent


parades narrate


mark the letter
devoid
& return
to sender, glib

a red cloud hangs
(how do things hang)


a fierce hawk arises
from an ashtray
in the teacher’s lounge
passing the hours, restless



& failed highways talk
