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
