I must have been four when I shoved a BB
up my nose. It's reached here already,
I pointed to my forehead.
...
1 wake at half past three or near enough.
The chain unpulled, in one continuous wave,
the toilet bowl is draining itself off.
...
The moonlight gets into our heads, no need to force it:
its potent-spirits dribble like a faucet.
Our long faces light up, unwrinkle, mist.
...
The moon's a cannonball through my window.
You are in my dream It's in my dream, it's you.
I get into the car. It stops. I get out.
Someone will be coming soon. I wait.
...
Those two chairs were not really
all that ugly. Too bad the springs
protruded from them and the upholstery
was so hopelessly filthy.
