1.

It was all one color it was all

curvilinear

my face and the planets 

in twin time—

I asked nothing of him, I collected

my things

 

2.

The whole top half 

of the body is missing from the picture

I drew of the world 

because it is implied

And anyway, you use your legs 

to climb

 

3.

There are such surfaces 

as the tub 

that confound the language of art

and its vanishing points

I sit there with you and consider

my secret
