These flies are M&Ms
the city has impounded itself in the bulbous glass
eyes of the micropredator
a slight pink paint splash on my shorts
a slight pink push up my shorts
slightly pained I approach the shore
the captain comes with the boat.
The porchswing nail bends to accommodate
its meddle.
This here is a map of
ambient venison
ambient fuckit.
Prilosec lilac
Even when I need them I cannot vomit
mums.
This pumpkin plant is rated M
for manual pollination.
My brother had an imaginary friend named M
who died and we buried next
to the Smithsonian
I heard him whisper on the highway out of DC
M I love you like no one.
How many jingles do we know by heart
C-E-L-L-O and a cell is the solid mass
made from the sound. Hello M-
are you dead or on the mend again
old friend?
The magpie has a locket
that splits into three
my body has a shadow
that belongs to something else.
