Like\u2014who?\u2014a Zennist
\nWho is lit up by a chunk of the mundane\u2014<\/p>\n
Shinkichi Takahashi eternally burning seeing the baby\u2019s
\nTurd afloat in the communal bath\u2014<\/p>\n
I\u2019m walking past the greyhounds\u2019 owners\u2019 house
\nWhen a tinkling chord from their portico<\/p>\n
Boards me. I am the most stupid
\nFor one finger snap, asking why is dad on me<\/p>\n
In a rash, in me as sea-sickness? Dad was.
\nFour lengths of aluminum conduit,<\/p>\n
Six-pound test monofilament fishing line,
\nA little plastic leaf-shaped clapper, arrhythmic heart.<\/p>\n
Now he is implicated by breezes,
\nAn intermittent afterlife by association<\/p>\n
With wind, tubes, filament, a son
\nUntil all is all and then he\u2019s yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
