The Plan I Made Takes on Air And


The right temple of my reading glasses comes  
Loose and I discover my wounded glasses
Take a secret name every Sunday night
My glasses assume a hidden word regardless
That I close my eyes in shadows and holler
Until frost beards the windows in May I still
Can’t understand the sound can’t say
Exactly what letters form that proper noun
Tiny as the screw that holds the arm to its hinge
My glasses tell me they can’t stand the day
Called Monday which they say stinks
Of vinegar and is all full of those terrible holes
Reading bare-eyed gives me a headache
All those words passing through my forehead
