Near the northwest
corner of the crosswalk,
a navy green
box stands proudly
empty,
as if
to reiterate—
an experiment
is only a failure
if it fails
to adequately
test
some hypothesis.
*
On the dingy
snake-
skin gray
evening train, only the eyes
of Democrats
reading
Kindles
are smiling.
*
The latest in science
and technology
has perfected
the art—
of wanting
what-
ever it is
you get, the billboard
hung
over the stuffed
expressway insinuates,
without
malice or
apology.
*
Self-care?
a Humbolt Park guru
paws the
magazine's
pages—
no
self,
no—
cares.
