vesicular

pumice stones, vesicular,
scratching at the back of a foot,
pitted slab, she said the lady looked
rough …
she’s a cloistered clam
and I don’t know what else to say
about it…
you can tell when you read something
and it’s just sort of about nothing —
and you can also read words
that shoot spears through your brain
because they are about everything
and sometimes, you can get your hands
around those volatile spears,
and sometimes you can’t…
sometimes they…
