Upside Down Pole

Bui Chat


All ways upside down
spread
da broom
some eyes writhing
look sideways
leening against wall I want feet to be head
I sing
about shorts coiled springs being sic in bed
da faulty sentiment of missing stuff
& apathy
dis bleek room has been ma breath?
I must lic da uneveness around stuff
den flip
upside down
all ways
how to do all things
spread nite and day I seduce da wall
hornily flap
da lips
never stepped ouside my shorts face


(tr. from the Vietnamese by Linh Dinh)
