yes, my pores still open and close
leaning to the light like a sunflower
but much has changed
a restless car, a rustless bike
men came and went with a waft of hot air
or stayed to catch the growth of hair
had two jobs, lost two jobs
in soup lines stead, economy blogs
moved out three times, moved in twice
outstayed my welcome, stayed in
i fell in love with the underbelly
blanched and breathing up a fever
two houses collapsed, or three
and i finally took pictures
of yellow, purple outlines of trees
new skills: drinking at bars, parallel parks,
saint patience and daily duties, keeping it cool
