POST-APOCALYPTIC SICKBAGS UNITE
(for anne boyer)
together. at bath-time. breasts in shells. shells for ears. tears

whirring gaudily. gauzily. taut, self-effacingly, shruggingly, slouchingly, drunkenly, kissing the air around porcelain shipwrecks. wings.
men of impossible fantasy, designs on interminable unfathomable...
