a child directs
expects to understand
i’m watching the plans exploding themselves
knowing the coming crash
with no intention to speak
my struggle is sleep
an intense desire to doodle
imaginary town planning
trainset delivering the suburbs
the child me occupy
decades ago donated
an asian boy no train
exciting lecture
meetings huh
about five times i’ve almost fallen
out of the chair asleep
i close my eyes
hallucinate plastic bags
it’s only an hour duration
a ten minute email
a simple skill to learn
but none will arse the mouth
