Fish Out of Water

ok, lancaster avenue, let’s do this
my eyes are time sensitive
wary of the age of communication
to arise in inappropriate spaces
that pay no attention to accuracy
here, my words should lie
out of bonds from chairman mao
on the road that monks fermented
schooldays spike memory of jackets
on the street and back in the hall
unraveled sense of appellation
like watching a game at home
in the middle like crepuscular predators
ready to repeat the name of the game
