22: EDITORIAL INTERVENTION
Ethan Paquin: Asteral
if you come over i'll give to you what I can
i heard you're in L.A. for the protest and the Post-sit-in
i heard you're in L.A., shirt not buttoned at the top
got a yellow flower patch spiting the horizon line
got a yellow shirt whyn't you here to try it on
got some far-off friends' shirts and shoes and socks
got some far-off friends they're funny babies very odd
asters in rain you won't believe how they blow
asters in rain you won't believe how they move
got a rock collection and photographs of smoke
got a road on my mind whyn't we walk it slow
that bunch of asters on my windowsill in bloom
thine bunch of asters callin me hey pick us soon
asters in rain you won't believe why they move
Ethan Paquin's third book,
