MAINE





There is culture

and there is The Culture

of a place making you

friendly, wearing your

sense on your sleeve.



Here, on the page, we

always want to talk

about beauty. Out there—

out the window—we leave

a mattress in an empty lot.



Don’t make me find you

beautiful. I say that

to the ocean. It keeps

giving itself away

like the girl I was in HS.



The internal culture shifts

too slowly to see like mold

grows. I have become

myself again. Again,

the sensible sand.
