felicidades 

   encuentro 

   ahora 

    I am seeing 

                                 the foreign future 

of the reversed 

                        immediateness

 unecessarily 

       beguiled 

                                                by the forest service reminders

                                         don't get shocked by solar panels

     of course 

 there were no such 

                                 impanelments

the trees are dying 

                                we still play chinese checkers 

or at least someone does 

                             the water won't be told 

                     still it's not the '76 spirit 

                                    that you knew 

                      she drove a Plymouth Belvedere

                                  until the doors fell off 

one night in the rain
