Hurry creases finish lines
calling every thing here mine
words are due and better verbs
up and down these shallow curbs
Morbid crash into the wall
cash and thrash and Andes call
length from one end to the top
Caracas height where feet must stop
Random walking gets the mind
gone beyond an empty grind
from Peru and back to where
cubicle and vacant stare
Done for job and lobbed aside
forgotten detail eggy pride
faces blank and bland and lunch
where the worst thing was to hunch
How did racing come to this
from a smile and heated bliss
to our vegetative hands
typing wiping griping bands
Tierra Fuego Provençal
mismatched language madrigal
sung in love and tired fate
calendars may never date
Bluer books you'll never see
second person essay plea
for the class of dormez vous
sleeping off the promptly due
