Children in the cornfield who are you
now
now
furtive actions in the furrows
who knows what eating really does
two children lying side by side
hieroglyph of the space left between
them

every relationship makes its own sign
whole world a museum unknown curator
about whom we fantasize

theology philosophy history and
baffling pre-dawn dreams
baffling pre-dawn dreams
where we are always in a far-off city
always trying to get home
always trying to get home
so this planet must itself be the
distant town

the stewardess won’t let me on the plane
must be the fiery angel she drives me
off with an ear of corn.
off with an ear of corn.
