1403

This riot (all the alternate futures
Strike the disinterested observer
As equally luckless) better not
Talk my attention from what

Begins like a frog, a swimmer
Pushing legs out from inside
And getting to work hopping on
What stays -- lilies, logs,

A carton of milk -- blood and ink
On my fingertips, objects at hand
Start taking the air like it's math
Or physics and not psychology I need

As homework, not standing apart
But climbing down and getting on the phone.
