Aberdeen, Mississippi



Stupid that everyone has cups that all
                      match, they get        mixed up and also

   there was a fly in mine do you
   want to see? Pick a number - no
pick a letter then pick a
number I won't notice                      if you don't shave today
Soon it will be September               like this
heat never settled on                        us at all
we lit Parliaments and sparklers but
                     nothing was more startling than the
                     sheer weight of beingawakeremembering
that time in the shower.                     Put everyone
                   else's yellow roses in the 
                                shower and don't
     
give them any hints. Stop a
     man today and ask him what time it will be    tomorrow
                            he'll like that, tell your English teacher that you
                            are shielding your true motives with           Ethan Frome and
sledding and maybe poisoning your wife or
your brother. Don't worry                  though
about the petunias I've brought       them inside.
It was 
much too                    hot on the deck
