Poetry of Issue 9: Fourfifteen

& its raining

hard. the only ones out,

mostly, the semi-demi

slaves, the grubhub, amazon, caviar, amazon

plastic wrap round shoes, hands, bike-handle guys,

guys mostly, upstairs someone is vacuuming,

just abt out of the question to book

a saturday lap lane, old ship, you, splintered, splintering

not even a thought in a bottle

for the next generation

of fish magical luminescent & deep

down

tread, treading water

slowly slowly
