21 (n)

every day a new wrist
a new sunrise a new whisper
through the mosquito's net

22 (t)

the diplomatic kitchen
really it's cheap i promise
i'll take you next time

god, gladys is from ghana
and vegetarian too
now i know you'll never believe me

there's a few dishes every day
and too much oil to ignore
but we do, regularly

beauty hiding out
even as the paper clings
to the scanner's lid
