INTERVIEW WITH THE SHOPPER WHO PURCHASED THE LAST PAIR OF THERMAL UNDERWEAR.

The sun a dead clock flashlight-grey

& fastened to the western reach

by the darkening chandeliers of ice-water clouds

stepped into a different neighborhood

in a different city imagine the vocabulary

that might synthesize my cold animal remorse
& here are the words:
