Straight Out Of

straight out of

straight out of
bed this morning,
my toes
were already
cold – a sign
of November
being activated,
humming from
the sidelines.
i talk about
my dreams
as if it were
a happening,
put on mis-
matched socks,
hoping you will
remember, twist
one campari
tomato from
the vine to help
me swallow
the day’s vitamins
.
