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

ballooning

recreational activities abound.
except we didn't mean to go up.
constraints physical
like stoves & itches.
the sky, on the other hand, is
a very large place.

list:               sun stuff
                    hair dye
                    integrity
                    ratchet
                    glossary
                    petunias
                    inversion
                    could have predicted it

it'll span texture and
constancy to encompass
the riveting business of
disagreement. will she
or won't she, the farther
one assumes the closer
the plum line drops. to
organize it correctly, though
correction requires rules
we acknowledge have been
unavailable—unavoidable,
indivisible—for years due
to high demand & irresponsible
borrowing practice.
technique is what's lacking,
a little sense of form
and grace, and yet, and yet.
