scraps of herself
in a parking garage
to others

the line
is three deep
bums with barter

one walks away
disgusted, she looks
like his youngest

kid tiffany jewel
in new orleans
daughter of ruby

hannah creeps through
the crazy window
with smokes and eight

mike bags his food
comes down back stairs
sings chicken, chicken

mark allen is feeling
better than ever
warm and sweaty
      Life's Home
with fever
with kinship
wth hannah

close as she can get
mike shreds the bird
boils the skin

makes a beautiful soup
hannah blink-blinks
mark allen wishes

it was always like this
like the three amigos
or the tv show friends
