2/30 Pantoum Excercise

The sun rises over my left ear
every morning without fail.
Let's start at the flower bed
filled with memories of friends

every morning. Without fail
you will see their faces, tooth-grin
filled. With the memories of friends
you can hear a story to start the day.

You will see thier faces. Tooth-grin
and childlike. Moving to the stereo,
you can hear a story. To start the day
press play on anold boy band singing

and childlike moving. To the stereo
this is 2001, there are no apologies.
Press play on an old boy. Band singing
seventeen years a graduate of gossip.

This is 2006, there are no apologies
fo calling somewhere else home. Building monuments
seventeen years a graduate of gossip.
Watch the sun noon time over growing up.

For calling somewhere else home, building monuments
to the broken heart waves crashing on a young man.
Watch the sun noon time over growing up.
End the ride with the first rent check

to the broken. Heart waves crashing on a young man
eager to love something more than himself.
End the ride. With the first rent check
paid for without a parent. The sun sets

eager to love something. More than himself
let's start with the flower bed
paid for without a parent. The sun sets
and rises over my left ear.
