taos taupe on the meaningless wall an advert
for the effortless lightning that fills one’s body
1960s if i had to guess
masked up against the russian nike strife force
members of which giddily violate
the agreed upon terms of the hue and colorway
sapphire mayan air force marine corps
dozens of dead children some tourists
note i’m still not willing to count peaks
around the mountains of fin-de-siècle literature
dropped from the eradicating chlorosis
could be your ear to the ground
for the right exporter
cheap-as-dirt materials
dog-cheap labor
a skillful color field
beside cotton romance
this standing next to you
a million-dollar gradient
meaning returns
as the temperature rises
safe and dry in the suburbs
where no one can wring you out
and survival is an abatement for wellness
