(source: “Powder”, 2001.)

Our cheap thrills,
striking out high 
in the black light
of the seventeenth 
hole, were employed
to be priceless, 
reckless on record;

adored, eyes glazed, 
when entranced by 
the proper code
of future days.

But our tradition 
as outcasts was 
powder, costumes. 
The gravity
shallow, grovelling,
where I’d trip but
not fall, at a cost.
