Classic Hallmarks

You are the wiping
of a sweatband across
brow

embedded, with: you
figure it out. It's inter-
changeable. Something
bumpy.

The rest of bubble-
tube, glass brooches,
impersonated show;
"the Office"

in a commercial
—seems everyone's trying.

All the leftover lust from
before, all the dust
sticking to after touch
-ing.


You wore a primly fit
Christmas jumper—what
is this?

This iridescent skin-tight
blouse. We don't know
what you're doing—stop.


I will live inside this bag:
from deli, so it's clear and
plastic,
crinkles loudly
when I move around. I've
lied. It's really tiny and has
pesto clinging
to the sides.
