I've had
that
sandwich
with everything
and came back
to write about
the taste
of all of it
sequentially
sweet then
salty
then a little
bitter
but
you
like it
and then

i'd make
a joke
you'd laugh
we'd

nothing
lands hard
on everything
sometimes
we'd

shake off
that feeling
some dizzying
height

write
to my
paper thin

in obeisance
for a hook

there's
nothin
to catch

but gave myself
slips of nothing
taped onto
uncertain wings

lusts

and which
of us
just must
cave in
to closed eyes
trust

bare the fear
until it
is dust

and we
blent
warm dusk

It's closer
To Domino sir

Martin Henny
Or his Jenny
And they spent
A pretty penny
For a hoser
Up the noser

clearly poems

delete me
please
delete me
like a little
bit
delete me
complete me
i was on
set me off
oh i've gone
already sawn
off the stack
in the heap
being brave
the legs on
this verb
