    To detail multitudes we use
    the distance between brow and
    lip To detail multitudes we
    zoom To detail multitudes you
    count arrange by height I
    weigh To detail multitudes we
    think in colour shade pallor
    age To detail multitudes I
    squint I size up You
    recall who was standing where
    and in what footwear I
    think in the key of
    squeals and groans.

    I call in my version
    of events I try to
    be specific and unflinching I
    report You offer as much
    information as you possibly can
    for the good of all
    concerned To secure a positive
    outcome we think it through
    in private and then visit
    their website You swallow your
    pride and fess up You
    feel you should You want
    to live with yourself after
    all To sort out whose
    hands held the weapon you
    try pantomime in your backyard.

    I push you into the fence and you cry uncle.

    I throw the glove at
    your knee You lose You
    need to get down to
    the station in haste Go
    now so details stay crisp
    persist in sequence Leap Let
    your conscience breathe sleep get
    some shut-eye First thing in
    the morning get dressed Something
    comfortable yet clean Skip coffee.

    Show up at the front
    desk Simply say I want
    to help as much as
    I can begin to detail
    multitudes We do the deed
    to redeem Clarify my allegiance
    You were mistaken it was
    a really fun night Once
    is enough suffice will

THE FITFUL EVENTS
    These come to me days and nights and go from me again, / But they are not the Me
     myself. – WW

    We drive for half hour come to barns with
    cows a merry go round. En route we’d passed
    a falls. Boats bobbed. We opted to
    stop. You extracted basket from trunk unpacked
    picnic. Ants gushed out small hill near
    my sandal. I squished many torsos.
    Little legs wafting eyelashes ephemeral
    loss. Another roadtrip we sought RV  lot. You
    hoped to trade up. I came along for the french
    fries. Inside polyurethane surfaces smelled, everything
    glued shut. I suggested sleeping in there might induce
    asthma. You looked over my baseball cap nostrils
    twitching. For once I thought maybe we didn’t make such
    a good match, me, your straw. About twenty thousand
    fans made a noise mass riot in action. I
    couldn’t see players’ faces yet felt
    seats surge. That was some drum kit, triple
    drum I think. You’d stuffed toilet paper into ear
    cavities drank gin cooler waved at me
    from time to time. Thumbs up. Thumbs way up.
    Gravel path gradually lost grit soon we rode tar.
    About two thirds distance across bridge
    hatchback stalled. You started shrieking at guy next to
    us, at me. You said I resembled my baby
    picture. Were not in control of your slurs. I
    threw up next tried to climb out of car okay
    taxi happened by. So I solved
    all that needed solving that
    evening. You got left for once, ha! A pinkish
    spring day about 2 p.m. deep nasturtium beds
    flamed. Sky flickered blue. Kid waddled near with
    balloon dog. Thing about balloon dogs they don’t
    last. Two adults hovered tad angry. I figured
    it was good thing I couldn’t get preggers. You
    scrape water with paddle simply hack into
    river pray wooden hull shoots forward
    slingshot. In quiet bar waiter lights our
    tea light offers free martinis glass dish
    cashews. Several women strip writhe. You pass me
    proxy I sign in extra-winding script
    tug at my neck until
