dark factory towns

with moats

a very green vine
growing
from a bowl of custard

backup

beepers

(so that takes care of one foot

losing
points as
joints of
fingers

on a blackboard

Baby pewter of her mind

that Chagrin Falls furniture maker

using really nice hinges

A toothache I kept trying to pinpoint.

Moving at the speed of youth

A pinball machine of particulars

Why is addiction
so much easier
than subtraction?

“God!” he cries

seemingly to no one

a place

as beautiful

as anywhere

on this planet
