PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

Enough failed attempts at Beauty
to declare, are these unique responses
to specific questions? How can he fit
a family on a mortgage?
How can he live on earth,
and what can he not afford?
What can he not afford?
How can he look like somewhere else?
Grace in the form, in front of a lawn in front,
our stucco sophisticated. To be. To be.
All those glittering glass plates.
Connoisseurs want sheets and surfaces,
wood reminiscent of wood
before the killing. Again,
but this time further east, with feeling.


      declare
a family on a mortgage
            live on earth

                 afford

      form
            killing
                       with feeling
