I read the chemistry so I think of my windows
as thick syrup
and I do see a whole world stuck to them
so I believe it
Somehow twenty pelicans just now escaped
with their shadows
but the oaks and palmettos are struggling
wildly to get loose
If they can’t do it with a thousand hands
how could we with two
Our predicament had been holding two things
true at the same time
It was worse actually We knew truth between them
and did nothing
