THE NARRATOR, by                    
First Line: Judge of an abnormal stone


Judge of an abnormal stone,
in the heat of the piers, in the cold
of the elms. Slowly
the wrist turns
between the laser and sweet names for apricot
I too inhabit this revolving door
scouring the classified columns
with paintings for rent, cats given away,
I knock this obtuse cult,
teaching the alphabet with the same imagination
that obscures the other side to me.
