The Week in Renovation: Saturday
What is the figure three
to me but a theory for
making a plot? If I could
be a character with a mind
to find inside my own head
the path from A to B,
would I not always be turning
around to say: here I am?
How did this happen again? Tomorrow,
I will go to the warehouse.
God only knows what they'll keep
in there when it's not being
used to hold us: Our upturned
eyes, our opened mouths, an uncemented
aggregate of song.
