                    on Benefit Street

Unless you turn & put away these chilled
dish things--shore is delirious here, boats.
WARMING--FATE TUESDAY AHEAD
Children's books, yearning by rote

& the museum is usually closed on Monday!
Let's go for a walk around the block.
Hey--
what's up with your--clock?

Pointing forever to high noon, just
because. She's waiting in the wings for him.
They only winged him. A one-armed
gamblin' hurricane     ALMA     got there first--

there     here & there     around the playground
where time stops     the wind is     re-wound
