The Art of Tetman Callis

mmmmmm . . .

some folks like to glue shards back into pots.
sometimes eros phones up, he says, it’s time to hammer.

you pluck slag by laughing.
do sigh, it suits a dream sadder than victory
(i ate my cheerful hi!).

i ought to grub for an enigmatic nod, hum
drum, run detail, lose i.d. and cough. i baste

two swatches with whisper, add
flirtation, tell stingray soul, na la la, it’s so—
that is, you have regal oh’s.
