HALF UP HALF DOWN

Sit next to someone you don’t know

When the little brown heads stop for shrimp

bowls of cheese 

Is it my self who placed them there

on the round plate grandmother orange

Next year we’ll move food to the table

The source that seems like a source is not really

Hidden central

In the large room where new students wait to meet the director

a woman walks in with a tall man 

another woman looks down at her own outfit and oh well

Moments when gifts are given and fights are over or boiling

The wolf’s leg is crooked

No, the wolf’s leg is bent for preening 

Do you have to keep it all

Stacking mermaid’s purses on a washed up tree log
