PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

Vancouver special

Not failed attempts at beauty or stating.
Unique answers to specific questions.
How may I fit my family into the equation?
How will we make the mortgage?
How much land will be allotted,
and to whom? What can't I afford?
How may we state the look
of elsewhere? How can I make myself less
abstracted? In the house but not of it.
Grace of a front lawn, stucco sophisticate.
All that glitters stuck in the surface.
Sheet shocks sense into reflection.
Wood sliced into beam better becomes
the forest. Can't see the trees for the city.
Could you move to the east? A little further?

BIO:
How may I fit my family?
How will we make the mortgage?
How -
- can I make myself less
but not
sliced? Better becomes
the city,
But what will become of me?
