In Fall //with/ two penny whistles

and a bag of wine corks

//i/ become a brown chair

with two pink eyes

and a corduroy to//ngue/

:/

John Cheever rolls two yellow

joints and sings Etta James

//why don’t you trust me/

but there’s nothing here

except

except for lovers eating

pumpkin pie

/you and I//

:/
