blinking light . . . cellular sight
time arbitrarily finite
too many tables where i see
students sitting seeking solace
in each other’s company
jung girl eats tuna from a can
i think that she
used to be a man
serious studious dude
young couple's romantic interlude
upstairs
downstairs
upstairs
down
a murmuring menagerie of sound
four minutes in . . .
wheelchair willy
feeling a bit chilly
bald-headed biker sheik
lift my eyes, take a peek
wallflower
hall prowler
willowy beauty
captain jack and the asian guy
watch them all . . . walk on by
thirty seconds left
or would that be
like two fifteens
just half-bereft

Written in the University at Albany food court in late November or early
December 2000 for an assignment for ENG 515 Workshop in Poetry with Prof.
Pierre Joris to write a poem within a short, fixed, time period — in my case,
eight minutes.
