ending the humming one-sided conversation
sends me back to the city’s distant quiet voice

in this too big bed, every dream gets overcrowded
if only my funeral would be as well attended

birds of prey were planning to ravish me
the morning paper slams through the door
if only my funeral would be as well attended
perhaps this night’s riddles will inform the day’s vertigo
The morning paper slams through the door
sends me back to the city’s distant quiet voice
perhaps this night’s riddles will inform the day’s vertigo
The fridge again, with a rattling shake.
