Lars Palm


noon
not a drop of
rain all day
so they water this
little patch of grass

***

(airport)

landing in
switzerland

walking through
germany

exiting into
france

***

(signs of london)
                    with lines from Amy De'Ath

no pedestrians or other animals
     'twas a good year for dresses
          do not enter train when doors are closed
     take courage
life is to blame for everything
     i let the thames write itself
          & let you be fame's pervert
     prohibited street
no itinerant ice cream sales
     i'm strongly contemplating it
          don't buy the sun
     italian fish & chips
perfectly good services on all other lines

(kleinfritz)

last days of april
parched streets

remains of the old
eastern water
pipes on legs above
a few side
     walks

how to put words on
a town so amorphous
& a population so
difficult to
envision any
where else?

asparagus

never saw the
rather large banner
saying
     petra
          ich liebe dich
in real (such as
it is around
here) life

learning fragments
of a local language
     genau
          spargel

& that public transport
system forced karl & friedrich
to move a handful
     of yards to the east

some more
     asparagus
in shorts
