1976

Hate and the bottom drawer
Celebrate a truant.

They take him down to the docks
To invest in spigots.

Running with shyness
Into a barn, a river barn
Filled with orange-lit sand
For the road crew,

Each shot lasts two to five seconds.
Each feather is colored hairs

The urns on the sill
Have an opportunity
To take a seminar on syntax --

It is raining on the fire escape,
It is raining on the firecat.
