Excerpt from “Probability of x”:
how does it go again
the use of ropes or the avoidance of magnets
an ocean voyage or swimming in your tub
virus not a cell benign and happy in its own company

Excerpt from “Lumilipad pa sa ala-paap”:
a muscle moving underwater
for the notes it makes
every fin conducting dreamily
through clouds of silt
roiling in a chase for food
flex and bend of the body
the clouds then unburden
a timpani on the umbrella
percussing the lilypad’s stem
Excerpt from “banana”:
for hunger’s sake : beholden :
portable : shaped for the hand : completely
equivalent to every answer
you can think of
Excerpt from “Parsimony”:
purposeless epaulettes
the spots don’t change
inherited freckles, circumstantial
a leopard wanders in, panting
Excerpt from Euphemisms:
women exchanging coffees for euphemisms, bearing
cups around the corner, cargo fragile, walk with balance,
it’s only seven blocks down, don’t look away,
this is where you started, there is no retinal rescue,
not for me, nor for you
