And supposing it came on a Tuesday.
I would be listening to glad music
or playing cards with my friends,
I would be carrying a roll of microphone cables.

The birds wouldn’t tell me;
I have no such connections.

The ships would leave
with slow grace
all the same, even as I press
my heavy ear to the docks.

You would be holding hands and being stapled
to the harvest automatics.

The meddle wish,
this wreck of need,

please

send me the name of your rainmaker in the mail.
And let me know when you’ve been introduced.

I wish you lived somewhere in Montreal. we'd be friends: I'd find MY microphone cables in your poems and, by association, would become as pretty as your poem.

(we'd end up in silent streets most nights; all life begins in silent streets)
