kid is like kid. kid is burnt hair. kid
is terribly confusable with (don’t come home. unclaimed. sitting, in closet boards.
sniffling blister. kid is someone else’s
goat. snot. mustard stain.
[baseball mitt. a while of knit blanket.]
kid is small. kid is cake pan. head like melon. head like clay plate.
kid belittle. kid-a-ride. take kid, add per cent to the bill. take kid add
percent to waste. to carbon. take kid, subtract planet. take kid,
subtract
housing. subtract. subtract.
kiss.
