By Eileen Myles, from a forthcoming collection. I Must Be Living Twice, a volume of Myles’s new and selected poems, was published by Ecco last September.
I’m bravely
eating my croissant
at everyone
I’m living
on my wet
board
I’m living
on my money
limits set
& the lights
lower. I worship
the blue
marks
on the hydrant
how like
the name
of a flower
