1.

What pleases.

Becoming a ware
of theater-looking
spurns our work, which is oiling legs,
letting rift libel us into telling

Jujubes dole toil in2 u,
An apparition
I’d prefer

You’d stop allocating.

Stage glass has potential not
because it is made
to break but because
its wholesomeness persists.

2.

Whatever persists.

Its wholesomeness persists.
