4:15 a.m.     argosy, 2905 elm street

steam

four o'clock speaks as
three o'clock listens
demurely going about
someone else's business
volunteering on its own
steam to correct the error
another day, another month
misaligned on borrowed knowledge
the seesaw motion of conversation
"and the effect of the process
of making yourself" false
light in the crosshairs false luck
