Real Estate
rumagged through the rental section;
for the skin of your teeth
they can set you up pretty nicely
the waitress is polishing barnacles
and her length
makes her a target
for my crockpot dialog
after all
the curves of her magnesium
are flush to the shadows
and her halo is dimly lit
my wife carries around
a pack of razor blades
for moments just like this
to make sure my hands remain
outside
the sample bag
embryos float inside the lava lamp
and I need another drink
but the man sitting on the broken rail
is burning a hole
through his fingernail
and the bartender is listening
to no one
the sunlight is falling
apart
through the duct taped windowpanes
above the poker machine
I can see a blind man
stepping off a bus
and I feel a certain amount of envy
for his shoes
only a three toed sloth
could maintain the proper amount
of urgency
when it comes to finding a place
to settle
in this city of transients
