well-meaning bricks
sedative sock
to suck atmosphere
seeds acid that dissolves
compulsive, regular tumor

paper rockets on string
striped in Chevrolet lights
(helpful, useful, hopeful, well-meaning
unprepared, scared bricks full of)
he probably remembers his harvest
when gravity took whatever it was
he had
