I had this idea out of nowhere of no ethnicity.
Not like gogo boots or a crucifix ...
no longer eyelashes to bring your pupils out.

No, I don’t think I’ve done anything this way before.
That’s why I slept so poorly last night.

I’m making a big deal out of nothing. Right,
you know I’m two-faced. What? Nothing. All right...
We can make the poem mute. If it doesn’t
speak, we don’t have to pay it as much.
A wordless deaf-mute. What could
be more what you are?
