Sample
“For Gertrude Stein, on my birthday”
Tall black socks. A shock. a shock.
––Of being still alive or not dead already.
Matter is a static context, static matters.
Shocking really, a shade of black is very social.
Calendar day is a glow oh
Green beret in a dead pan contextualization.
For shame not better panache.
A soft vessel, a pouch
Rabbit in and rabbit out.
