boy or maybe man I couldn’t

tell, stared at his

desk intently as I

came in

studied every ~~made~~

crack ~~in the~~ like

a prospector searching

for gold every ~~can~~

canyon Sierra mountain

of the desk

The money on the

table slip it between

my breasts down under

my bra it’s my

life’s work leisurely

ambition

Come here Asian boy

come feel me,

I’ve got your

money, turn on the

can’t you see

him Asian ~~dead~~ boy

But he doesn’t see

his eyes plastered

go to sleep

maybe he’s a mystic

his god in every

crack and cranny

that ways look in

wisdom of forever

~~my desk~~

maybe he’s just

gay.

Light

There was something

very special about

the light that

shined in the sky

at night

They were white

just that line

beyond it they

were brighter

higher hung like

thousands of watts

lightbulbs screw

tirelessly into the

night and so

thick, like they were
