never ‘clock a mile

eight a m-ers eagle 1

back row at the last

 

forty acres mules

a cloakroom a cabinet

lunch in paper wrap

 

one palmetto fan

her hand a paste wonder bred

she said so ahead

an announcer read

a fire drill all out doors

in the bully yards

 

back to civics class

first row who passed out again

of a savage land

 

mimeography

johnny appleseed a gap

listen present here

where once Busy Bee

a restaurant under el

is an old buck town

 

tri-corner avenuers

citizens a booth between

a counter red stools

 

mama duck soup spoon

babas and rubber boots too

even there behave

wise dumb stick a tooth

into a bowl of grew all

for a diadem

 

bottom a boot a

mizzle middle ms drizzle

a bit of honey

 

sleep over a shack

spinach each a chicken leg
