half hour

symmetrical brackfuss

oak lure the humming dog

kicking whelps, the three-time thirst

when we had arrived once again

here in this horrid house of dust

which beb sweats to make livable

we filled the bowls w/ water

and a nylon bone that is uncrackable

tug-a-rope that is unbreakable

S-P-C-A, Delaware county, unreportable

mischief and rattling neglect

The drive to the Philadelphia building
I had timed it at an even half hour

Juniper and coffee fronts

Fujianese master barber

(no to gel

and the girl's soapy dialect

(the color purple, strong fingers

I tip her two less than the master

who had instantaneously returned behind his newspaper

The woman who cried once in front of me

due to money issues from a landlady

she gives me change

I step out, changed

slip on my hat and cig

sidestep the steaming urine
the man w/ a dragon tattoo

and an old man inspecting

the bottom of their door
once again a half hour over

w/ no one to give it to
