Summer: My young, drugged neighbors jump/into their above-ground pool
after the bars//have given up the driest of ghosts./It's the Fall
of Troy as puppet-//theater, a lost suitcases found that/holds a
scandalous diary, a plush//theater of skin, moonlight and noise/They
flirt, splash and touch each//other's scars. Is Earth the
only/planet where dreams can harm?
