Joan of Arc

A Name

Joan of Arc


you am big you is
mumble stutter stumble 
mutter (shapes on

paper, waves in
space) cant care
how hoaky

it is. the sound
alphabet. intentions and 
everything. and everything.

o o those finicky
z'infidels, persnicketying
each's whatever and everything

embarrassing histories it's
all so so what now?
sing a rocker. maybe

name it "cant talk"
and oh what a song
it will be and oh

what a difference it 
will make. i should
even say it should

most probably be
instumental. gosh
golly god again.

im always eaves-
dropping on these
awkward silences
