5576. MY STELLAR DISPATCH

MY STELLAR DISPATCH

(4:oo pm)

I have reported all the dark things, all the deep.

The happy and the lark-like, the stellar and the 

meek. Now I close my case, keeping all those

things within. Instead, today, I wallow and I simply

list : Studebaker, Motorola, the key exchange, the

parlor chair, the porch behind the restaurant, the lady

in the bar, the man with those horrid teeth.

-

The flower on the metal landscape; all those big,

glass buildings. everything stretches in this heat  -  

even that woman's shadow seems longer than before.

We've got charm here by the bucketful, a few seagulls

flying while the nearby boats sit idle, people drinking

beer on a ledge. Outside of that, nothing more bears noting.
