A slow talker says, “Where are the bodegas? In Brooklyn
you can go to a bodega and get a Snapple.” Indisputable
& at the flea market you can buy milkman receipts from 1907
& personal correspondence. The din in my museum
overpowers what’s outside the window—it’s old noise, vintage.

Trend: dorm room porno Trend: filesharing software / ethernet
Trend: shower stall sex Trend: sometimes recycling batteries
Trend: the keg party tantrum Trend: spring allergies blooming
