The policeman wouldn’t listen

And was buried this morning:

his approach to how models

are used

4.

Wine or beer    Both      vice versa

Yellow Tulips

Yellow tulips so wide open they’re about to fold back
on their own self, touch your own neck with the back
of your own right hand, where bottoms look like onions
in the bowl. Where did they come from? It’s snowing
outside in the middle of March. One imagines where
they come from. One was only there last summer, safe
in oneself, arranging daily tulips, no snow, never will.
