big town blues (viii) — the competition

bloody horse fares and furniture
the judges complain
i understand

the premechanical tractors
but indoor portraits
i know    i know

it’s done to cheese
but i imagine quality
the story

why that table    why there
they’re not coffee stains
why the light

who took the carpet
that looks like burnt door
in the fireplace

what makes the picture
is the body in the corner
obviously the photographer

he’s a judge    discomforted
i reckon he’s not taken the photo
yet
