Then Jesus
Reject both and come to Woman
Passing this you arrive
At the very one who does
The passing: The Great Negator

Going to the zoo
Is like going to the cafe

Packed salt on the table
Pigeons on the sill
Dilapidated yellow and black
Spilling down the sill
And still I can write
All that is necessary
