PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

Vancouver special


One is not a household 

I will address you 

in statements to
plain language

foreign dignitaries
kitchens in economy 
the possible ethics
of winter opacity

There are storms in degrees
like farmhouses at various distances
recede.  Woods, then 

fields, then 
square drafty boxes, 
then flat siding, then 
tar paper, then centers 

of rooms. We are all facing east now
in lieu of windows.
