Ugly edit detergent waves through your trunk
Loop current through your arm and out your back
Loop current from the bottom of a well
Teddy's voice from the bottom of a well
Theo's beats from under the floorboards
'the love I lost'
but something about seeing
a picnic table all exposed on
its back like that made me look away,
and the screen filled with blue sky
just as the golf channel lost the ball,
then we watched it clear the Playmobil
treetops before coming to a soft rest
by a little lake with applause like ducks.
