Silhouette Jane measures rain in a cracked cup on the sill   In Embry's last photograph he disappears over a hill   Darrell Dotson waits in the grass for a fight   the stars don't shine upon us   we're just in the way of their light      The new girl in Tahoe has swallowed Sinatra's cum   A russian primadonna dances slow on valium   After the game the benchwarmer can't get a ride   in space there is no center   we're always off to the side      John Parker III steps over a bird on a Wall St. window ledge   Little Wilkie finds a dead cat rotting deep inside the hedge   Mahalia Roach dies on a Greyhound coach in July   in a horror movie when the car won't start   you give it one last try      Guinnevere orders one more beer in the smokey pick-up bar   A burnt out tramp by the exit ramp waits for one more car   The Latin teacher always smells like piss   the census figures come out wrong   there's an extra in our midst
