new from above/ground press: Twenty-Five, by Emily Izsak

Twenty-Five
Emily Izsak
$5

Anyway    the older pony’s

not rhetorical

she’s

       part-time

Beside groin’s    addendum

the crowns and plaster

of centrist teeth      loyal

to the trope

this immanent shortstop

bloated in the noisiest

most thorny part

shares ownership

with gluten’s co-star

the quarter spectre

who says

Do it

Without wanting
