- Town In Translation

stalk

      (shift)

smalltalk slowtalk
smokes down the sidewalk,
motionless stop.

walk.

on silent-sulking seizures,
sneakers of trance--
fall by gravitational chance

on relapse
      dance

like ours on
smoke stalks--
stopless down the sidewalks.

smalltalk
stalk like
breathless when it stars.
