Score and bundle subprime sublime,
Divide by small print side-effects,
Subtract the accruals of disposable attention spans,
Square by regulatory buy-in,
Systemize, Systemize, Systemize.
Add native analytics,
Exponentiate cryptographic protocols,
Multiply by stock options over Alprazolam,
Yotta- it,
Authenticate.

chilled walls
first train run the warbler’s dwindling diet of ice
round my prayers a skirt of marble veins
into a pink root a hammer on carried walls
knots in my beret to a bagel shop
silent crane on Broadway anguished over bedded stones
a hump colors the homeless man
hard rain trill the deacon’s soaked collar
fraying her Chihuahua’s eyes purple nails
his blackened lips the flame beggars
66
Cloaks
prognosisher husband won’t meetthe doctor’s eyes
fallinginto silence -autumn yellows
home againand the static from the newspushing away
sprinkler hiss -into empty sentences the fullness of words
resounding deep within the cat’s purr bone cancer
67
Supermarketa topless cage on wheelsnaked birdbodies wrapped in plastic
two twelve or thirteenyear old girls sneak a selfiecondoms on a shelf
“Spill on aisle four”extra extra virgin olive oil
canned goods one boyrepeats every word anotherboy says
“Talks Break Down” a headline at the checkout, chickenbreasts scanned
68
