July in Washington
The stiff spokes of this wheel touch the sore spots of the earth.
On the Potomac, swan-white
power launches keep breasting the sulphurous wave.
Otters slide and dive and slick back their hair,
raccoons clean their meat in the creek.
On the circles, green statues ride like South American
liberators above the breeding vegetation—
prongs and spearheads of some equatorial
backland that...

And we couldn’t leave, my roommates and I, for days (a week!). So we had to hang out with each other.
In our house. And we couldn’t leave. None of us could. Logistically it was too much.
And I got sick of them! They too of me (easy). But they all left (all four of them) on different trips and for the longish...
