Eastdown and spiral bound,
wide-ruled,
like a hat on a mannequin in a store window in an abandoned mall
fever dreams two-stepping on eggshells under a dangling anvil,
popsicles and participles
as if I need modification

Better
Best
Will this be on the test?
circles reason around questions,
fallacious logic forms a rhombus
in the cartwheel of my mind.
Careful on the dismount.
