for Elliot Helfer
Do potatoes suffer?
Would it be new
with a blue pen?
This lightweight
futuristic
slightly minimalist
black German
fountain pen
The Lamy Safari
The alphabet
with my name inserted
black against red
the same as
Caxton’s Missal
Should I look that up?
Constraint
con
straint
it ain’t
what you think
The ship sinks
rather quickly
Why were they sailing so far north?
Kate Winslet concedes
it isn’t her best work
The knife on the counter
blade side up
Where
in the word
is the theory?
Me, I
just tend to
blurt things out
