Using Air

of a buttered morning a coed
in legwarmers bound
for Poly Sci and yet

they signal rasping
practice boards be-
neath an icy glow, ad-

junct not to art
but pain

splayed out
after a rag
doll flop.

The newest anything jives
sweaty trial and its
impure collapse.

                A stylish hat
                is softly cool
in form-

ing light. The old heart
            heaves to
burn-
ing work.
