A Town Like Parataxis (6)




MIRACLE OF LIFE





A Town Like Parataxis

hurry to the escalator

I don’t have much
have much of a sense
of a sense of direction

Blue scarf

umbrella

go home & come back
yeah
have something to eat
go home & come back
yeah

I remember they drove us
crazy, summer nights

got them … fifteen years ago?

what’s with them?
never used to
twinkle

kept now for tango

wood, with dates of
services, the daily vigil
no wonder neighbours curse
every light

flight attendant

LIFE VEST UNDER
YOUR SEAT

It’s grey outside

a pearl-grey day
Who ordered
dates for lunch?

Time for a change
