Please ,
if it tickles the tip—
Let it be,

allow it thru shower &
work clothes to

fall back as
migrating birds do
toward
southern bathroom floors

if you will—
; let it fall down the sides
( not stop ping it don’t )
finer because 1 sentence between 2 lines
an opening poem

& if you feel
laziness at this
season of dead summer
( please
i beg on bended knee)

permit it to watery smell
down & round
where folds purse & squeeze

let it join together with
the rest of you
like good cursive

like good cursive
the blades of a razor
rust for two seasons
at least
—please
& wear a jumper indoors
while lonely fingers jump
at the touch
like good cursive does.
