5.2.11

shoe ties like lamps

tumult walked dainty like
in line
lined by powder
where you left that one time
and I was supposed to wait
but three and two and ten
passed
and you hadn’t
but

hey, etta did you leave
your hair here
hear
I cried it to the wash
room
whom the lady asks a dollar
her name is pearl
or u

trance like and staffed
my mother
asked you to dine
yes
-terday
but your tea drops
had made an appointment
first

sleeping in wet cement
was prescribed
to the woman
whoo
pigeon-eyed and
fringe banged
like lamps.
