                                   Death throws the pen into a bouquet of blue & white & purple flowers 
                                         picked from Humboldt Park where Death has me walk not quite 
                             hand-in-hand with a friend who tells me the Angel of Death visited them

                                    & their partner & their friend Hunter standing at the foot of their

                                    Death Two-Faces everything bringing all the products to the fore & putting

                                                        Death dreams me at the grocery store selecting pre-made salsas & dips & 
                                                              flour tortillas eating Them from afar 
                         on the bus my tuck 
                         comes, Death dreams,

                                  Death sees Dogs necking 
                             Or 
                                  Dogs eating each other's necks 
                             Or  
                                  Dogs licking their wounds 
                                           But Dogs is Death's best friend & Dogs 
                    is coming over for brunch  
                                  Dogs is trying to quit adderall 
                              Or    
                                   Slow Down 
                          
                                              obsolete starlight pulsing 
                                                   into the bedroom where Death dreams 
after the grocery store open the door it creaks it sticks it bulges with my knee
