young


sun
double-
crossed

someone
lank, angular,
who was loved into

god-given isolation, of
grace, remaking himself

—were armed sperm
throwing eggs at you?

hades is cold
as chickenskin.

needs to order
new material
—a boxfull.

male and female,
and man with man;

small peter
& garfunkle,

swing
upon herb ridge

over troubled water
sleepy for your supper.

the stomach can't
rapidly eat as sweet
a thing as ghandi.

which utensil
will you use?

salad fork
or the knife;
& a spoon?
