How One Cat Holds the Other
Tongue dipping into an ear, white
paw fixed over the other's neck.
Low growling. Whiskers lifting,
repointed. Black back paw tap-
ping like an impatient tap-dancer
at the door. What serves as an
orange elbow, crooked and in
the air. White fur on red, like a fur
sandwich or a pie made of fur.

The Periodic Table of Car Crashes
in the heat, the temporary classrooms ping like empty oil drums
everyone's getting their learner's permit this year
how to doodle a black stallion using three different pens:
movies of people crashing and slides of what happens when people crash
this is called "distracted driving"
what a lightbulb feels like when it touches your wrist
the sounds the starving stray makes as you feed it your cheeseburger
on the back porch
this is what happens when you slam on the brakes
stolen Pabst in our thermoses at lunch, practicing how to
hold a cigarette, strategies for keeping our dads' hands off us
this is what happens when you don't signal
babysitting the neighbor's dog, watching it slip into the pool
this is what happens when you don't check the rearview
the last day of class we all sign a card for the teacher:
I'm not as think as you drunk I am
the bruises his sharp hips left on your thighs
this is what happens when you turn left against the light
the final quiz, multiple choice, ten questions:
writing, wish you were here
wish you were here
wish you were here
wish you were here
wish you were here
wish you were here
wish you were here
wish you were here
wish you were here
