Spencer Selby


from PERSONA GAMBLER’S JOURNAL

6

Gray shelves jagged skin
mirror false in which
waiting replaced muddy sheen

façade broken in museum
to display culture of bricks and fire

form leading example absent
those available in books

presenting a different childhood
for every occasion


8

Two blocks off main
move buildings forgotten

In career of black and white
my neighbor whistles
for bad weather

I think I think
there must be a way to endure
all the stuff piling up

while men I used to know
dominate the workplace


7

Passion obeys vast
open context

desire for new sign
salutes universe

under coldness
that matches

wealth suspended by
the obvious social crime
