If
this
is
July
,
why
does
it
look
like
August
?
Sadly
growing
up
into
the
real
world
I
don't
even
ask
these
questions
myself
.
Why
are
the
shutters
drawn
over
that
restaurant
?
The
moon's backwash
is
like
a
deeply
incised
hairnet
against
the
stadium.
Bats
drool
into
the
gutter.
If
everybody
is
so
intent
on
illustrating
what
they
know
,
why
is
the
ant
syllabus
closed
?
