small days
dimensions angles pastels
as lonely as the empty seat op-
posite in the verve of saturday night's
cluttered jubilation the morning sun
laps over the linoleum --
a pilgrimage to shower cum toilet
cum laundry toothpaste smudges
on the mirror
this room dials the combination, the perfect ten hearts five hundred hand
the sound of
eight or nine toddlers
scrambling in the street
