“Like Tolstoy”
do you remember after
your accident, your lie
what you told me to read?
I think it’s what you tell
everyone to read
not uncommon to read,
or recommend
I drank a beer
For help
The metal tables
Did not belong
And I did not feel at home
It’s just that by now
I’ve found my own
required self –
it’s not so hard
Samantha put shimmer on her lids
lashes flared apart
on purpose?
I couldn’t tell –
A girl has to slip quick
sink into her own shadow
I walk alone, that helps
and imagine the quiet men
who took the time
to consider my own brain.
