СКАЧАТЬ from the blow-torched tree.

      Plus a moose silhouette. Each sculptural detail furnishes

       a surreal idea of nature for this quarry town. Or for Brown.

      From the tailings sluiced off the valuable leach,

       from the wonderfully obvious main drag scene,

      from frequent maladies, not Stef’s, except for chronic gout,

       from the unknown emergencies of his neglected teens,

      he assembles his philosophy, his will. The notion actions

       make a man doesn’t apply, he’s cancelled them out.

      The remainder springs forth obliviously without Stefan.

      Ha ha ha, it talks! Ha ha ha. Sure, it’s not that funny, but still.

      Odd

      Then unbuoyant dread at the all-night

       hot-dog stand. On the woozy cab ride home

       the street turns trampoline, Olympic updates

      play on ethnic radio. Cars lurch to the stops

       like relics waiting for an archivist with foresight.

       Sewer smells, primary, combine then cancel out.

      Faces of the passersby broadly range

       the zone of cranky and dissatisfied. What

       happens badly comes in threes but never

      does triangulate, while they waver, gather

       patternless at crosswalks, not as sums

       of chance but slim chances held against.

      Probably, we’re told, it’s not success

       or doing our job well that counts, but

       to recuperate from unexpected failures.

      The business district’s scrapers look like saints

       about to levitate, every ad’s in love with us;

       condo cranes are angels poised again to strike.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
