            The New York Times daily
            and a barrel of apples
            with one pear in the
            middle. Yes, and black
            and white photography.
            The demands of my bloodline,
            but after the blood
            dries it leaves a bruise.

            Also include tango music
            and tango dancers. Boring
            documentaries and home
            made films. All mechanics
            need not apply.

            After the speech ended the
            room sat quiet. Learn a
            thing or two about the world.
            It was an average day.

            Continue on, continue on
            with banana peels. The
            woman who collects
            The New York Times says
            nothing but ser joven,
            ser joven. And even
            still there are candy
            wrappers and love letters
            glued to the inside cover.

            Billie Holiday, Che Guevara
            on the wrong side of
            the commanded. I go
            swimming at night.
            How disjointed. Blood is
            beautiful if it reflects
            right. It's purpose is
            to be disjointed.

            Purple elephants and wooden
            shoes, but most importantly
            The New York Times daily
