men could wear mittens
to sleep with a scorpion
while the room rattles
the earth may tremble
regardless a train whistle
North in a small hole
a tunnell’d canyon
parallel to a sunset
six itchy fingers

is the train noise very bad? the water noise here is insane –my upstairs neighbor he takes several suspicously long showers every day….

Actually, no…less than what you have heard, it falls softly on cinderblock.
Is he homesick the monsoon?

i haven’t been able to figure it out. the cheap waterheaters here allow for only ten minutes of a hot shower before it runs cold. so doesn’t make sense — a true mystery. glad the train is gentle (am thinking of this one i love lucy episode)
