a group of girls from Minnesota
or black mascara
Not trees trace so       just kids we    hung
                slim buckets  of chokecherries from our wrists
in neighboring galaxies   Giant Star Factories  take control
                composed of cold hydrogen gas  and dust    
7,000            light years from earth
                slender-toed geckos                  step onto the moon   
On the road between 2  baptisms and a shower they rang  
                to say   shallow water      the mouths drop open
not where you stand but how  long you can 
                stand standing there
          in constant hypothesis
the trees are passersby
                mercurial
                damp light
                flat orange moon
          velvet navy-blue sky
fire berries      
                from here we see the  beautifully attired drive tough Ford pickups
                the oncoming
                organizing principle 
          brushed out
the dancers take turns  leaping over the bonfire    into 
                Qué pasa USA?
haircuts in London are really  pretty backward
                London—you are definitely not  going to have a manicure there!
                in L.A. toes must match the  hands or else just don’t leave the house
          in N.Y. it’s more brunette
Outside a refrigerator floats in the blackness shiny amid sharp stars
& the turtle who holds up  the world        holds up
                the world
