Inter Alia
Saying yes to sex parties is so ’68.
We masturbate the street to seize the beach.
Whatever happened to modernism
the recuperation of genitalia, farce and tragedy inter alia.
You love the types of Robert Granjon lettercut with weeping.
Our last embrace in Hendaye
is water, always water
a spontaneous overflow of scythes and sickles.
We live quickly
because there’s design in everything.
It’s true the sun looks ill without its ringlets.
I read The Aspern Papers at Hôtel Valencia
and steal death from an aging poet,
eat an orange from a fruit bowl quivering in late period light.
The next morning
on the beach, children bang
with toy rebellion, inter alia my euros are missing.
Adjusting the kerning helps my anatomy sing.
