Chen-ou Liu – Canada (PJ07)

eating a Big Mac . . .
alone in the attic
I ponder
the Chinese word for home:
a pig under the roof

all knotted up worry beads

long DMV line
I flirt
with No. F14

over dinner
a friend admits
to an affair
breaking apart
a breadstick

both parents
dead at sixty one —
imagine my surprise
the day I turned
sixty-two
