FOOLS LEAVE / Jennifer Benningfield

FOOLS LEAVE

Crushed wicked sweet white against day-to-night blue
Anguished skywriter indecisive signature
Come aground, move around
Every second is idle time
Trouble ahead, behind and alongside

Ten toes to the earth
Twenty dollars in the pocket, unbroken
Forty in the flushing face
Eighties popping in the grease
Fools leave clues
