1. sitting on the mirrored red hood of my
Camaro; your bra coming undone;
2. Tolstoy, Stone Mountain, Chopin, movies,
movies you shouldn’t see, questions;
3. people, sex, life, religion, politics,
Anita Hill, Clarence Thomas, abortion;
4. the road to your house, the Coke machine
next door, cancer, funerals, Tahiti, the old red
apple trees;
5. UCLA, Sasquatch, Miami, Jamestown, Narragansett
Parkway;
6. speaking in tongues, this girl, that girl,
another nobody girl, a trip girl;
7. Venice, Lugano, messages written on walls,
dying all night, St. Marks Square, being human,
