Preternaturally Perfect
Could you ferret out crime sitting on the
invisible spot we’d missed right under the table
flashing overflights of the can, whose pressure seemed
of a tall, dignified-looking man in Army uniform,
his buttocks pressed against the tiled wall and
waving at everyone like they had something
in the environment to guide her to a particular person
beginning to crackle, and on the street two stories below
that black crow whose function was ultimately predicated
mumbled something with some semblance of gratitude
whose puns probe ancient fetid shafts and tunnels of truth
with a good chef and a group of entertainers who called themselves?
