What to Notice
a fragile 'thou", a hungry tiger, a steamed pod on my plate, the color of orchard grass, the scent of abandoned bluebooks, a thirsty cow, an angry boss, the smiling farmer all coated with husk ... the sweet lustre of one of your girls, the word someone tosses about like a head, tumbled with dreads... the way someone cries when they're lonely, and laughs when they are simply alone -- although I did not hear them then, I only hear them now
