the structures in which

the structures in which
we play, stretch and bend time, mold
memories, will give

us away – if not by their
longevity, then their decay

nine out of ten words
prefer following over
leading –
the weight hangs

patterns are formed by
keeping some things just
slightly out of focus –
i have lost count of
the times we’ve looked

somewhere between

somewhere between
the picture listing in
The Real Estate Book
and the second
mortgage, they
have built a home,
welcomed his first
cousin, twice
removed, survived
an affair, and given up
on the swollen door
that scrapes the

to uphold those
first impressions, that
white picket fence,
from the
honeymoon viewing

secured
by a multi-

we lean our ears
against the fences of
fear, as if we could
judge the depth
of our own
confidence by
what is built
underneath and
in between. the
harder we laugh,
the more certain
we are that
something
is changing
