["The"s]
8.


1
at the reception
  lemon slice in the urinal
  song for singles

2
house sparrow*
  in the next life
    lighting fires
      for the fun of it

3
depressions
smell like

       Tuesday
      yard sale
     love seat
    half of
   half of
  it is half
 off if
I ask
(nice!)

4
lawn dart
holes by
two ground
up stumps

leaving the app
on in the background

5
    five windows
no windows

    summer sugar pine
no asteroid

no power
    line, slide

6
what was or isn't rain
falling is or wasn't
was-rain or is-rain but why if
not rain then

7
I admire road work

my first ever
thought

like every
day

before pretzels
handfuls

of them like
the end of times

of me clicking
the wrong key

*original version of this poem featured a woodpecker but I have since decided I don't like woodpeckers, I mean, they're fine, but they're not all that, and I needed a bird here that is all that, which house sparrows are as you probably already know.
