Sketch for a repeating panel.

"dawn
masked lapwings drifting
down to breakfast"

I Kissed a Girl.

glass against gray · granular truth
   spooked by a robot

fumble-fact'ry · more & more churns
   verbal inventions

thrift's shadow · sharkly looms
   ev'ryone warned us

expedite egress · where, you say
   plethora trinkets

plethora plaints · replete stuck
   trap of snug entry

& words, wares · less than penny
   ricochet homework

cathedral thronged · strange hymnody
   shell of a building

asked for my papers · pop off my mouth
   silenced the hard way

this world that seemed · formed to save us
   batters the door down

spectral dooms · derelict wheels
   offer to idlers

the place where i tarried · yesterday's towed
   downstream a thousand

& granular truth · trained to gauge
   measured in whims now

rogue hazelnut · a hazmat glove stoops
   picks up to ponder
   on a trackless shore

Sky Cathedral.
