5/7/14


you will get tired of someone's body
and the pores on their nose
when you sit on the train
and listen to them talk about their parents, or their day
you will examine the way the skin is darker around the follicles of the hairs in their eyebrows
you will see the same pants
with the belt always in the loops
crumpled on floors
and then you will see them that way, on a body, too
if you are drinking
or the light is dim
or someone else is looking at them
you might not see these shapes
for a moment or two
but then it will be morning
and they will yawn
and you will see the little bit of saliva that stretches from a lip to a front tooth and then snaps apart
