[The Reflect Inches]

the moon reflects two inches
above the water
           the water
moving too subtly to hold
onto any shine  
           but it’s half
           life in the air 
two inches up

makes glimmer look 
            like 
garnish   the moon 
            like
an omniscient 
            semi- terrestrial
span of odd white

Flip 
 
also consider looking 
                                                                                                                                    at 
180 degrees
                                                                                                                                from


                                             here:






                                   
                                                              the up doesn’t leave when you’re upside down
                                                              when you start to tip do you let your eyes                                 
                                                              go first
                                                              or do you play with random
                                                              chop up words and look from the other end
                                                              the other end                   that’s familiar with
                                                              the opposite just like the upside down
                                                              millennium
                                                              it took to the other end about every other 
                                                              three years or so                           example:                         
                                                              in the beginning ED was on the rise
                                                              but Merck went down on that but then
                                                               it really turned out that if you kept touching it
                                                               you would go blind
                                                               always having up attached may not be
                                                               such a good thing after all


 
 
 
             
                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                    :there            
 
                                                                                                                 you go again now

Bulletin N53T0

small towns are still urban
they mark themselves
with tacks in laundromats

they broadcast their pulse
with short invitations:

STQ-
Residential Painting
advertises: “Roll”

guitar or bass
learn how to play-
could be my Ex

proud to say I can’t
exactly recall his number

Interested in purchasing an upright piano?

“Squiggy”
is lost-

you’ll know
him by his extra toes    
 
“Go to the Meet Up”
in cursive
by Albany Cinema Group
their name tag design is good “Meet Up”
in cursive

Everybody
wants French lessons 
all the tear slips are gone 

But
the flyer is tacked above
another: its phone number revealed
in the missing 3rd of the first

Daycare!
the best flyer on the board
announces:“the love of God is my specialty”

soon other slanted notices 
regarding the city immediately
surrounding this tattered board
will soon move in 
 
flush this hub and refresh
this niche’s urban blood
