"Eva's Friend Masha May Drink Too Much" by Linda Bamber
From within a mild, persistent
or at least not disabling
(not at all disabling)depression
indistinct ideas
buzz
drift
things that happened yesterday
half-erased chalked glyphs on the board
from the class
before mine
the blind student racing
through the crowd
and the beautiful Polish woman
saying over and over,
Hit me with the wine; and laughing, laughing.
All's out of reach;now there's this
soft pale pockmarked
feeling
pancake batter
ladled in the pan.
Don't write stuff down right now.
No way.
Get videos. Hit
'play.'
