“There’s no age limit on stickers”
In town, creeks bend back on themselves, under and out again.
Thus 3-D is science farce. Choose icons from:
letters, numbers, shapes credit cards

Hating the Beach

Lightning interests
the sleeker populace
of Green Fork
Junction. The sort of node
bereft of kinglier fish,
organized by fiduciary

we’re hard to adapt, pockets
of Archimedean style. Stains

rose-stupid sky, where waters
run naked as a drunken schoolboy
in time with the homesick
blink,
its eye. it’s I.
