we remark on each other’s yearning
Ephraim would love to hear from me I call him he doesn’t pick up
Hi
this is Ephraim please leave a message after the beep thank you

into his phone I sit
there hearing
him say it
him
but not him
I went out for a cigarette with Shanae and Shanae’s pup Merkie wouldn’t shit
All of my friends are buying things

Six’s fur sticks out when she lays on her back
like the thick paint on a Van Gogh painting
I like to go to museums and smoke pot
in the bathroom
maybe get a cup of coffee anyway

sometimes I go downstairs
and see my neighbors we
have dinner or smoke blunts or both
and
