The imperceptible Becomes something Like geese flying, Or sometimes you hear A girl's name, that's all. In many syllogisms Which begin with words Like @3if morality@1, Narcissism and possibly Wheelchairs are dignified. According to a man Who writes near urinals In Arcata, California, @3The meek don't want it@1. And across the street In another bar, In the same delirious Hand and green Felt-tipped pen, @3Thelma, do what thou wilt@1. Emptiness makes The world occur more, Causing love and problems. The imperceptible Becomes something And there you are. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
