Down & Beside from Surface Zero by Pete Um

if another country looks
like another country to
you might as well expect

i see the tall man walking
his fast little wife behind
he's like the unicycle guy
got no girlfriend
no room to ride
besides

she's better off without
down on the ground
down and without
down and out
I'm down and out

does the writer
have the right
left to devise
all circumspect
by the windowside

couldn't get more real
it's Michelle on wheels
her ride the curve
from the road to drive
watched by the man
at 35

all watched by the man
all children of the man
child is the man

ape is the man
don't watch man's face
don't think about the man
remember you're a man
while you're a man
with time to while
from time to time
