Subject: the city's most public and sacred area
1. sister migration
exactly in the how is why
covering the ground
burn slowly both
anecdote & landscape
the concise townscape
burn slowly both—
Sis didn't the Talmadge
the wherewithal stew?
didn't we unscrew the platters?
hark the herald friends in
snow crass discovery like
the VIP frown
2. Zappa Blair
witness the haveyounot carryall landmark
of skin shone the love dots &
mended ways which declaim
3. Heath (2)
love's hang-giddy hand in silt air
which declaims
4. shorn (2, Britney)
said from youth
said from youth
said from youth
5.
make your head small in
unreachable furniture
draw the unknowable
lines of little artists
your hairy nar nar
your mouths & skins

Team Ledger
all across the boulevards & bars
the nary windstop
the fortune whim
in alleyway
in mustang
no mistaking
little claim
LABELS: HUMANMEN
*
Postproduction
as universal charmless brio
as the nameable
as the fucksake
as the lens
speeds our knees
little artists
on our knees
