#1926 and #1927 (#189)

singular breakdance

a cause of a disturbance

not a dance at all

*

those cat breakdances

at school when it would appear

on the window sill 

#1925 (#188)

to be heavenware

be living in paradise

away from this earth

#1924

happy in the midst -

congratulate you later…

getting my photo!

#1923 (#187)

sugar, hyperpop, 

dancing the whole night away

liberated, free

#1922

this son, like my girl,

can’t stop thinking about you

you have to go on

From words on page 79 of Chicken with Plums by Marjane Satrapi (Jonathan Cape, 2006).

#1921 (#186)

knock him off his horse

this old altisonant bore

mute him as we are

#1920

helpless insane nights

returning and cowering

people distant, small
