April 1

Let the bullshit poems begin. This one is particularly awful.


Morning


All the buildings on this gray street have turned their bellies

up. We deserve this, you said, while fingering their foundations


tunneled through by ants and the buds of vines reaching up

through cement to this cloudy sky. The woman the police


came for, the one alone on the first floor, the one with the air

conditioner missing from her window bars, she was


dead by then, and you still decided to walk down that night

to the café on the corner like those kinds of things


just happened to you. Wind through her apartment below

us like water through a sewer. Some bird shrilled the hell


out of the next morning, but you slept right through it.
