take a lightbulb from the closetand replace the one above the faucetscrape the whisker from my facenick my lip in pointless haste
take a magic marker blackdarken a spot on the mapof a county on the coastwhere I was born out of a ghost
underneath the ceiling fancontemplate a master planbreathe a sigh of recognitionfor a childhood superstition
push a thumbtack in the wallpierce the picture I did drawit's a graphic portrait from my youthit hurts my heart this forced review
