Anthony AW
boutique sad
I’ve walked the streets
thru ethereal day&
solemn night. Kiss’d beauties
to feel pretty. No
love, for people notice
postcards of waterfalls&
mannequins’n New York shop
windows. There’s me. Mannequin
has twisted posture&
wears raw denim with
chunky sweater. Shallow death
catches me wondering if
the clothes run as
small as I’ve known.
