J. D. Nelson


mercer county dream

oh, lake

you’d better be
popcorn

tree truck
free day

plantain
plantain
plantain



morgan silverfish dollar

hum-a-hymn
o popcorn sandwich!

a number of fingers
our help is the rain

a sparkling puddle
& skullpaper

I was in
that world, too



saint christopher of earth

I am the blake of popcorn

l x w x h
don’t leaf

I wanted to be a mumbling baker
making donuts in louisville at 4:00 a.m.

we live
in a black hole
in a black hole
in a black hole . . .
