(w/ Cicada Musselman)

and so, why poetry

doesn't want to fit



in the crossed ankle mindstream

screaming hemline scare; 



or the botanized categories

  of lobed or ovate leaf, 

  or fuzzy or bared stem; 



but fits in the sting

  on the lip

  of this glass, 

and in this loud swing

across a crowded
dance-floor,



and this objection, like glue

   is SERIOUSLY

imbibed, 

    wrought, 

        brought to saturation

     is keyhole

     is flexible

     is a raspberry bush

       about to fruit     
?
