As/Is

plenty

a contagious affectation
scrambling my attention
outrageous prices
her steps thud in the dim-legged hall
that night that the porcupine had crept
like icycles through the fog

i cannot know what's on your mind
it's hard to feel significance
somersaulted
petrified the word outside
is as cold as the well
gathered there

pharmaceutical angels
are pharmaceutical angels
a voice in the recovery room
goes insane like a stranger
