Cartwheeling as phosphorescent stars
in rumors first heard
to heed the need to sightsee
and eavesdrop
as a starlit harlot and starry-eyed artist
On a former loading dock
standing apart from the harsh
with Johnnie Walker
in acknowledgement
of a Grey Goose far removed
as a muse
super hard and deeply fearful
Leaning
over black granite
carefully
grandstanding
with excited
chatter
as a flapping
bat
being ravaged
at a newsstand
Under
close surveillance
on a yoke-
backed chair
carved
out of a single
block
of marble
as seen
on a blog
like
continuity
in a limited
series
of perfect
acquisitions
filling the gap
as a major absence
depicting importance
in water and chalk...
