Stationary Filled With Chimpanzees

Youth

In this beginning there is an end,
of flat beige walls and poetry that sits
like apples on a cart.

Of hard Ks and soft Ls,
of the cuneiform symbol for love
and land.

In Argentina there is a pool,
it's water is bitter and dry.

And before long you've ingested
enough,
enough to begin to survive.
