VICARIOUS

Islanded stacks
of canned
motives,

fragments
patched, into jerky

green symphonies
of pleasantries—

"How
are we?"

"Are we
finding
everything alright?"

Alright.
Fine. So I'm a little
over-

aggressively
air conditioned Mr.
Nice Guy.

Mooney and glowing, to me,
there's no

discernible difference—
between

what they say

and

who they are.

But fine,

for this one,
by necessity,
no discernible

difference, either—between
who I am

and what
I buy.
