An exquisite corpse I take credit for.


the conceited poem

Who could say whether the thaw was complete?
The silence broke. Incendiary rain and thunder
Plastic palm trees
The 10%: responsive to the copied underworld
We drank cider at midnight, with thoughts of cinnamon trees.
the crisp crunch of gravel against shoe

One more cup of coffee every day until I’m dead

But only a clock can make a sound like that
Brontosaurus burgers at sunset
They will not dream of baboons and periwinkles
They remained dominant until the end.
