"I don't want to fly"
"What?"
"I said I don't want to fly."
"And why is that?"
"I can't knit properly on planes.
I end up elbowing people, it's rude."
"It's rather difficult to drive to Asia, ma'am."
"Don't call me that, and I know. Couldn't we take a boat
or something?"
"Perhaps, but it would probably be much easier to fly."
"Oh, I suppose I'll fly, but I won't like it."
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
"Don't call me that."
"Yes, ma'am."

Bats

Enmity -- fallen brethren,
-- the peregrine's claw
has snatched many --
from storms -- winged bodies.

Eyes flash white, and why --
some run into snakes, -- eaten.
Fuel for cave economies
-- roach livelihood.

When light awakes, -- sleep.
Our height awakes, -- deep.
When night awakes, -- fly.
Our sight awakes, -- cry.

Ode to Spring

Oh lovely
one of women now
I've loved (since feeling
first on the second
and fourth of May.)
How eyes intoxicate:
Lever and strain my
feeble, (left to its
own devices, it
hops madly in spring
fields, strewing petals
about in tempests of the
violetest reddish-gold.
How much motion is permissible
in light? One art, someone hold this-)
revived, and broken heart.
