fish will sometimes jump inside a boat —
a test of character.

quit your job immediately,
join your gay sibling on the river,
and scoop them back out

a meeting is called
in the kitchen by default
the cat takes minutes,
recording the sounds of the rain
and our voices
while i squat on the old tile floor

there once was a man
i saw from a bus
who squatted in the yard
of his apartment building
smoking cigarettes
before 8 am.

did he too look around and
have to ask these questions?

and squirrel song blew my mind

only one word today: "relincho,"

yesterday stepping around the work
of some blessed vandal,
standing at the gate of a stranger's roses

chocolates and maizitos and
this notebook we bought
with the piccolo cover

the city expands
and contracts
over the course of a day

INTERNATIONAL WORKERS' DAY

"el trabajo no dignifica,
cansa."

the black sheep shame of
protestant mothers,
anabel and i
are only looking
for a tile's patch of sun
