these things do not embody
their own apparent reality
and their names likewise, do not
rise above banality
they do make for a good ruse
the wallpaper of memory
an utterance, like a pushpin
the postcards up on the fridge
we hunker down out of the rain
wordless and dry
with soda and saltines, ourselves
apart from the drenching
