Your body in the sun.
You? A solid, this that the dress
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhinsisted,
Your face unaccented, your mouth a mouth?
jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjPractical knees:
It is you who truly
Excel the vegetable,
The fitting of grasses—more bare than
jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjthat.
Pointedly bent, your elbow on a car-edge
Incognito as summer
Among mechanics.
- George Oppen, from Discrete Series: "Town, a town ..."

I will lift the light out of it too, George.
My goodness.

I get the sense that you are very invested in your masculinity.
I don't even know what the hell that means.
