Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate.

Little Janet

Dust rose to the stars
amazing, beautiful
darkness of the night
the highway and a conversation
in a rattly truck

prettiest girl in the world
long fingers like Cleopatra
aware of him
talking books and little things
nobody ever notices such things

across the cornfield
trouble was brewing
too many pebbles
scattered toys and sad talk
and high-school kids didn’t care.
