People abandon each other in March, having seen the gladecress
You and I may never meet again
You should have learned that, if you've learned nothing else
Pushups on the motel floor, the puddle in our picture a tiretread deep—
I need help, I guess
The air out here is like Grey Goose
Little exceptions are made to everything
Order pulls her muddy ropes—daisies come spilling
