      2. accordion heart
      3. adieu?
      4. birds and rain
      5. clouds like lead tires
      6. draining midnight
      7. drunk on her smile, I
      8. exhale
      9. growing up too fast
      10. helvetica
      11. I slept on the floor last night
      12. mantra
      13. my mother
      14. optimism
      15. sleeping for a month and a half
      16. think lucid
      17. travel lines
      18. unfinished
      19. the veteran
      20. what happens today

      21. about the author


      helvetica


      every day is garbage day somewhere,
      and the birds on my street
      line the pavement like soldiers
      as friday's tank creeps
      down the boulevard, crumbs
      of newspaper billowing
      from its war-torn mouth.

      the crows flutter sultry
      in the morning sun toward
      headlines trailing the street
      like roadkill, cramming
      bold-print helvetica
      into their beaks
      as the ink stains
      the asphalt.
