Or take them on purpose
& wake up later to find they haven't been
 sleeping:
don't stop she saidI meandon't look
& turned her head& I wondered which she meant
& just as quickly it was over
they're only unconscious but maybe walking around
& dancing& talking& screwing
& sometimes
they're wearing pants they don't even own.
There's a house nearby its walls whitewashed
& on the carport old saw blades hang
from
nails:
hand saws& hack saws& band saws
& blades from circular saws
straight & round things with teeth
once we walked by & I saidI was afraid
to wake up
when I hadn't been sleeping
& find myself surrounded by those teeth.
