Folksong for the Midwestern Masses
If I had a hammer and a sail
the wind would.
Dust had, either way,
both matter.
One way at once
bulbs burn and billow.
Radiant sails, onward,
mind turning jade (on sale at Pier One).
A hot rock for comfort.
Hammer smash settee.
When I am stone cold sink
fathomable darkness flammable shirt,
politics like cork,
gender to cover
your thighs like the downy,
cattleroving tracks not footprints – but the whale will.
