POSED

the activity

of “wor-

rying”

minus its

content

what’s

that

going

inside &

out

gladly reading

some

feeling high

ly invested

in this here-

ness

while peeling

it off

from the

future

giving

up nothing

but

these

circles

deepen-

ing, quakes

no dia

logue

doing   [is]

good.

NIGHT

crazy yale
spike out
our blue
picture
window

we’re studying
here & we
are so hot

in a life of
intellection
vacation
celebration

I love you so
much
