Algebra, Asylum, and is the first lady of fashion
common core, numbers, Saxon
Singapore, fraction, improper, arrays
break away
regroup the Earth turbulent
forecast for the day, equations
border the storm with the missing
what to wear
in the promise of time grinding
the divine unaccounted for, disappear
you will find no mercy here
in care, I don’t do
you, citizen, how many meters to dreams
in Mexico, Salvador, Guatemala talking the talk, walking
the walls chip and measure the cruel
what to wear, what to wear while you writhe on concrete
I pray, he gave
moments of brutal
back to the algorithm of American
man is conservative centimeter, the chosen
rule the dark
in the night of beguiling,does it whisper and beseech
cast your child upon the sea, into the river
wide , river deep, what to wear
inside the thickened weeds, what to wear
when it calls you home to sleep.
