Trapped in a conspiracy of chance we sit close inside this…
““Trapped in a conspiracy of chance we sit close inside this sardine can on wheels horning the gasfume streets of this dust-tired afternoon. How your shoulders strain your shirt; a stray wind cools your sweat in my skin. “This heat,” I mutter, “melts the very bones,” saying this as I feel inside me awakening sweet April, fragrant May unfolding flower fingers on her lap.””
