there's no advance
to this thing
i'm writing
i've heard tons on
tons of the palisades
and i've never lived
west of the
missouri and
where are the palisades
define it
geographically
a minimal
comprehension or-
some other thing-
of the perception
of how people
talk
here
in
missouri
would go a far long
ways in the palisades
somewhere in
flor'da or
califor'nia
god i wish i'd known
the weight-per-
pound a baton
centered on a
human forehead
but you had
i hadn't
