For a friend and a friend of a friend, where she lived, where he is living

worry for him— love, no such thing, says
the rest of this country is not habitable— stay home
until you’re extraordinary or one-
upped at a party
by hunger strikers—
where are you kidding?
she left to ride a bicycle in a desert movie
and settle---who worries? this
is my fantasy except for a costume that says Lucille
