look left
and look right;
watch the river come/go.
there is a place
in the khaki afternoon
where we talk,
anti-antagonistic.
next,
you'll tell me
that I write the evil
off my mind.
in a house of crumbs,
someone is allowed
to be right.
drag me naked
through life,
change the subject.
watch where you aim,
because the poison
is still dripping gorgeously.
