University Town by Michael Homolka
Up steep hills which crack open like pebblesthe green-black ocean wandersin the form of a human among low squat
brick facades old typewriter paperand armchairs subconsciously withinlost as all academia to self-absorption
hands in back pockets inquiringof the psychological grass whether it perceivesitself to flow uphill mostly or downJoycean that is to say or Virginian
Sorting stackfuls of family photos
most of which it plans to toss out anyway
between existences the brainy seaweedsoaks up all possible inferences
as to the ocean Whether literal or metaphoric
whatever anyone believes in whatever
way they believe it : it’s the opposite*
