tub filling
(a tea kettle hissing)
a book on terrariums,
in the white tub with
white curtains drawn behind
white curtains rods while
white computer crafts
soft coo's cross this
geometrical spectacle
(a face
dipping
in and out of
piping hot steamy
water)
and then It occurs in monochromatic
helvetica font vision:::
redder = whiteetihw = blackkcalb
and each philosopher drops their head
on the floor-- scattered puzzles
amidst untied shoe laces
and reaching for a stack of paper to go with this pen
you curse your cursive
or the typewritten lack of
types
right?
