in the space of two days
.
in the space of two days
or two months, you can encounter
two contrasting species – one
adopted into a mouthful of
silver spoons, the other drowning
in a mouthful of lead – neither of
which have mastered the opposable
thumb, one entirely bedazzled
with links and medals, the
other hypnotizingly entire
with chains and locks, both
hoping to inspire angry
neighbors to knock the
walls down and find you,
peeled layers and sweat,
unclenching from the exhaust
.
