If it’s too beautiful you can’t hear the song.

the rhymes are good and fit neatly at the ends—

but it’s the mouth that carries everything.

she should get out of the sun,

go to the landfill where the seagulls eat.

she should rub her hand over sandpaper

for the experience.

the bird dressed like Marilyn on an off-night

who’s drunk and falls on her ass

walking to the premiere of something made a good start.

if it’s too beautiful you can’t hear the song.
