envy

You don’t look so good / Tell me about it? / I won’t fix / I want to

What if I could get / higher / What if I can / if I try / What if I don’t

Don’t try to fall asleep / just rest your body / and rest will come / when it’s meant to

On the front of the garage / above a wall that was a door / is a metal loop / screwed to crumbling melamine

At six forty-six p.m. /  they’re still laying great big chunks of granite   / in the yard

There must be a cruelty school  or a church of unkindness
