Apartments (2006)

Now Available:

these apartments look mint after
coffee, come-hither

stretched out of function

maximum sunlight

beatific baby squeezing

fists in buggy

you could be active in one,
silhouette a window

*

Over-caffeinated, your projects push
out across the city views

overkeen

tackled by suited
agent’s faux-mild eye

what not to say

*

switch to night, window
matrices,
lights coded on and off

city angels leave calling cards

digital angels find and replace
memory:

the Malay hotel with flamingos
guarding the entrance

highrises stand over
your first dizzy upward eyes

the lives of strangers
find and replace you

*

you didn’t paint people in
towers like these
as a four-year-old;

though these are perhaps like that
uppermost panel of blue sky
in a kid’s painting

augmenting
petalled sun,
thought-shaped clouds
