A Glass of Water at Hand
A secure flap
drags a flag —
spoiled oil
rolled over into a tarp —
decamped tent —
back to the State
of Umbrellas —
morpheme drips
sealing in the sovereign —
apostrophe S —
where the downpours
pelt everything but —
filled-in erasers
crowning pencils-on-paper —
drawn scepters —
the sprinklers themselves
embedded in the overhead —
sous-surplus
ceilings made from glass —
amortized Alamogordo —
encyclopedic step-by-step
mixed directives —
Hermeshucaglypsos
transmitted as a transplant —
embossed factory.
