o of world

   after Lisa Jarnot


o of world, o upon the
tracks, o of the subway
in spring, o the day
on a side street, o of paper
and paper, the small dot
on the snow, terrific o it is,
the lack yourself, the snow
waits to be snow, unloved and
in the grass, you, o, the
city, and the city, of its
lack in spring, and snow.
