Read a poem by another poet written
on the same day:

7:55 a.m.                    russell street, berkeley, ca

living rooms


the ability of the hand
to act independently. the ability
of astonishment to fade.
the ability of hems
to fray. off the charts.
a walk in the park not
possible, the numerous reasons
for numinosity's fade. lest
we forget, lest we take for
granted, lest we trigger
the dubious mechanism of retreat
when we might be flocking
towards the very towards
our verbiage portrays, then what?
