NO GUARANTEE


I come to you from so far away bubble-wrapped  to  keep breakages at bayBut there are already a million pieces,jaggered edges, missing links,beckoning ledges."No made to fit" or "quality control,"

Shop soiled, spoiled,

singularly yours alone -I'm sold. There is

no manufacturer's "guarantee"Me idealizing you,you pondering -'what's up with me.'There is no blueprintfrom which to assemble,this heart that bleedsthese lips that tremble. BjR 13 April '10
