May Cause

Tinnitus, uncharacteristic
willingness to ascend ladders,
early estivation, fruity urination,
tendency to jump off a train
in the Carpathians to investigate
a ruined abbey, frequent antichrists,
cardiac upheavals see pages 3
to thirty thousand, using a pitchfork
to fold towels, using a pitchfork
for the taxes, losing the bridge,
smearing the pentagram, wildly
swung vanishing point, clouds
for trousers, sudden windchime,
sudden leafdrop, sudden joy.
