two yous separate
only you can assume
otherwise you know
who’s gregarious
happens by a long shot us
or you don’t say once
maybe for supper
unsure yet you stir it up
till it’s good and hot

two yous separate
only you can assume
otherwise you know
who’s gregarious
happens by a long shot us
or you don’t say once
maybe for supper
unsure yet you stir it up
till it’s good and hot

———-
…А мы будем работать в классической манере,
Красками желтыми малевать по фанере,
Пребывая то в возбуждении, а то и в трансе,
А внукам рассказывать будем на Марсе,
Обливаясь слезами раскованно и раскаянно,
О Земле, о планете – lunatic asylum.
Напоминаем – в оглоблях творчества
Скрытые теплятся
Искры пророчества.

unless it was death
as a visitor only
yesterday he left
essential accounts
tables to reschedule
all by tomorrow
nine for the fairer
one return’d to the sender
what time I cancel
I try not to think
how to change a flat tire
on a cold shoulder
moving it forward
more stuff in the trunk like Jack
entirely bored
Gunsmoke a rerun
so out of range but uphill
he’s in a hot spot
notice how no-one
bi-polar gender plural
is now so-called they
a disappearance
into a whole crowd of theirs
therein his or hers
regardless possess
singular substance also
both may pet grammar
