Utah

a bearded man
and his long wife
sat
on an orange rock
near a rope swing

and went blank

accept for

the buzz
and billowing
of remote control
sailboat raceday
then the long woman
poured a drop of

electric tea

on the back of
her hand

so

johnny smelled at it

and asked

if they could move

into

a jar

so that when their

seams began to wear thin
they might
be held together

in the shape of a

honey bear

near kodachrome
basin
