improvement

i think i owe the brooklyn public library $30 dollars
i have more than $1000

i see two men in 'vacation' shirts looking at a folded subway map
one of them puts a 'glamour' magazine away in his bag

the gowanus canal looks blue/green with rust stains

one of the men looked at me

breathless

the menus sleep

i think of mature trees.
they grew into parents.

my whiskey condensed
through the mason jar

the qualifiers bury themselves
in the sand
then burst free

a hedge dies in the mist
navigate the bottle

the bar ended on a bridge
a little more bar after the bridge
