 I’m a man holding a dandelion—trying to reason Beyond female/male. 
 What your average family in Mali does on Sunday: do you believe This an interruption or inclusion? 
 Am I correct thinking I’m human in Sanskrit? We is most when mixed company. 
 In Colorado. In Mexico. In Mexico eating Mole Colorado. 
 
 
 
  
     
      
     eating. 
 In the windy light motes make Dust mixes with water wipes 
 The air clean. The road’s A mess we barely 
 Pass by on: Cheerfully low-down— 
 Looking at clouds rush-off Revealing a rainbow.

      Please help me to make sense 
 Or when is sensual 
 A thesis versus screwing up? 
 Birds on poplar boughs cheer me. The sky endears me 
 To blue along with oceans and a period of Picasso; in a different period he 
 Drew less and less of a bull until there’s no doubt. 
 Grit from gentrification dusts wing-feathers. 
 Because desire’s like that there 
 There’s a big fight in the interstice. 
 I need the “untranslatable Ice to watch”: Is gap 
 Primarily problematic distance or space 
 To see through to? I’m fond of Ferdinand the bull—frown at the king 
 Watching cruelty in rings—fingering his wife’s bands—full of hope 
 For a new world.
