Nouns

nouns, please, objects

barstool, bellybutton, barn door,

give me things

goat milk, phosphorus, lemon zest,

to build my world

cat’s paw, carnations, pizza crust,

simple lists of

rocks, sticks and inner-tubes

tangible, imaginable things

pinecone, coriander, robotic arm,

silk scarf, hound dog, spare tire

just listen to the sound

of rain splitting atoms

race car, taco stand,

roller derby, black sand

standing alone or together

an american standard,

no need to flower the adjectives

dead-ending verbs

I noun from now on
