never I’ve never no (But I could be

assuaged. Never swilled foul fruit juice.

Nor have I delliws, which’s swilled spelled

there’s lunch, bit bye bit bye. It’s so wrong wrong that up-goes

right-justified wrong, two-mourning-over-

seven-nights wrong, glugging whatever’s

left of smashed to-and-fro; wrung towels. Crushed

grapes mean forgetting about their seeds,

mean disremembering sutures twiddling

dumb thumbs of x and y, barely

spoiled, spinning, above me, before opening the fridge,

before sweeping up the linoleum, wiping down by peals

of mimesis, closing the fridge—cutting
