Excerpt

It’s early in the year, early in the week, early in the day.

A man clips his fingernails on the L train.

I think about outrage at the public act of hygiene.

I think I've done worse.

Done more damage than that with my thoughts.

I begin at the graveyard where the sun is low in the sky.

I put my things into the flatness where I can see them.
