I read Be Here Now
as the planet’s odometer
ticked over to 0000
the box fan hummed
the blue budgie squeaked
outside: no sound at all
Ram Dass rests atop
José Ángel Valente
in the same bedside drawer
the lama and the laureate
stacked like folded socks
(if all you have is a hammer
every problem that involves
nailing something is
easy to solve)
