Leslie

The littlest aspect of
wearing what you want to wear,
never moving your fingers
more than you need to.

Action to prehensile nub
then to ligature.


of a mind meet. Paper
back in the butt pocket.
Displacing tee shirt up
around the waist.

Something like
what Kerouac did
but each day.


If you saw no lack
of farming in the old houses,

or wore ribbons in your
bilious hair and knew Ludd,

then it would still be cold
in Detroit in the winter.

And everything has an
appropriate time of harvest.
