Jon Paul Fiorentino - winnipeg

always
homecalling

power lines tightening and
sagging in and out of season

block heaters clicking
"plug her in if you want her to run"
think about that idiom

lips stuck to pole                     tongue stuck to tongue

"she was always a good little car"

pining for a self-serve self
it's winter at home
we have antifreeze in the blood

a make-believe city in the middle

always in the middle of something
and never enough time for calling
polemics of dialing               listen in to home
always in the meddling

listen:
                         not home
