At the butcher the butcher cuts with steel.          
A still life-like apple falls in fours.

I purchase in flanks and relish
In the distant chivalry of letting the elderly pass.

Down the main the jays rank like rooks
On power lines. Autos with fins.

I mercury onward, humming
Past the hospital where you drip

In your juices—Eight Days A Week.
I am clutching the shifter. Frightless

Birds. Whole intersections. A little wave
And a passing on. A blink to blink,

While in the kitchen I make my steaks.
Potatoes with eyes that spear like a virus.
