prayers for
a day that who knows what happened.
two for aaron englander and his prayers
one for new apartments, tin cielings and bright white walls
for ghosts, for drafts, for draft number 5
and for unexplained html that has an explaination
for expensive materials that are needed for no reason like a profit
for reasons like no reason
for willingness to share the unsure
for two great books after no great books
for eye sparkles that will keep you going for months
and postponement
for the way hair parts when there is something small and round,
like a shoulderblade behind it
for disconnected monitors and connected people
for really detailed drawings, mechanical pencils and calipers
and graph paper
five for no bed bugs, no mean studio mates and nice girl friends
one for small glass glasses and no glasses
one for no triglycerides and no pre emptive worries
one for daikon radish with miso sauce topped with scallions, edamame, tofu pancakes, and the sauce around the eel.
for part time jobs and full time jobs
for fuzz under the neck of that woman i spoke with
and for syntax, no syntax, and no emoticons.
