TPP LEAK JORDAN CASTRO - 2x POEMS FROM FORTHCOMING POETRY BOOKS

"RAYMOND CARVER’S ‘WHAT WE TALK
ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOVE’
(THE STORY) OR DENNIS COOPER’S
‘UGLY MAN’ (THE BOOK)"


i want my body to transform into a complete, declarative sentence written using active voice and a
   prose style similar to raymond carver’s 'what we talk about when we talk about love' (the story)
   or dennis coopers 'ugly man' (the book) and i want the sentence to convey the sentiment 'we
   all have limited time' and 'honestly, i'm sorry'



"OUT IS THE ONLY KIND OF NODDING I DO"


never say yes to anything ever


no one has anything helpful to offer you


treat them accordingly
