Seven Things
for Rebecca Loudon

A few bars of air guitar.
A large carton of figs.
Speech balloons.
Yet to be named moons.
Pools full of salmon.
Yards of tulle.
Tom Cruise.



Seven Things
for Richard Lopez

Never ending horror movie trailers.
Amplifier buzz.
Dried pumpkin seeds.
McCrary emerging from a cloud of pungent smoke.
The ultimate mix tape.
A funhouse mirror.
Our road trip mirages.



Seven Things
for Mark Young

Barre chords against a matte sky.
Whatever floats your bowler hat.
A pipe that is a pipe.
A pipe that is altogether something else.
Feedback loops.
Internests.
Nostrums for the monsters.



Seven Things
for Jessica Grim

La A.
La B.
La C.
La D.
La E.
La F.
La Gee.



Seven Things
for Eileen Tabios

Wedding dress made of poetry.
Informercial for entropy.
Chiaroscuro obbligatos.
Unlimited sex changes.
Musical chairs.
Chain of custody.
Odor of sanctity.



Seven Things
for Thomas Fink

A coloratura for your thoughts.
The uneasy agency of shadows.
Vowels out the yazoo.
Voices.
Pentatonic scales.
Bent notes.
Waking with the fishes.



Seven Things
for Noone

White noise.
Black magic.
Garage bands.
Homemade remedies.
Forgotten seizures.
Misbegotten dreams.
Madrigals
