the outside

she had a remarkably compact emotional range
and an orange cat
he had a breakfast personality
and never turned
on a dime
away
the corner
the other cheek
back old man
a trick
and ran
oh yes he did he did he did
he turned and ran

but she still had a glove box 
where she kept the crumple tissue
and mapped out rivulet gully puddle wash

clean
slate
rain
date
reign
date

get
out

get
out
