mandala
by Melanie Haupt
 


a smile between friends
a day spent in peace
the pages of the second sex
fourteen hours of work
his voice on the phone
analysis of french literature and star wars
a sagging tire in the sweltering heat
thoughts of korea and esperanto
toying with dada
dadadadadadadadadadadada
and art is seen best through sunglasses
purring cat on my chest
achoo
hand me another cigarette
so that i may smoke away
the coloured sands of my days
