Poems from Summer98
My sister, alex and I
-- at Ramen Tatsu-ya--
Waited in line struggling
Japanese on the menu
Miso this, miso hot
We just went with...
I flicker at night to say hello
But no one responds from down below
Once, twice, still no sign of good night
I flicker at night to...
I open the fridge
grab the jar by its neck
and place it on the table
Twisting it open,
pop
lid never to be seen again
stab, plop, crunch...
