A Funny Dream


His aunt was accepted.
How cool is that?

A new desire,
plainer than I can doubt
lightens the cities of the plain.

All is effulgent, sawtooth fronds,
veiled undertones.
Then the question remains: What is it?

Leaving his shorts behind, he
hastened to rejoin the marchers up ahead-
a peanut pastime, pleats, tucks, and panels,
unreinforced paint thinner.

So turn this off.
