Commune of S 4 poem suite
we meet under assumed names

beamed to their devices
my likeness in the window

a guy launched an insult out his car window
and peeled off into the fireworks show
I was holding the camera
his car was eaten by a pink chrysanthemum
I tore the group photos into bits of confetti
