Party at the US by Patricia Lockwood

After a few moments of English and you
Find yourself in the realm. Like a wild boy
Reaching potatoes in the mirror.
Someone holds it behind his head.
He never stopped to let him cool but made
A small cry to show it burned it.
Still, it is his favorite food. After an hour
Read hard
Is a mere voice, the city you have built
Whistle. Between my chapter is finished
And shivering, not eating, so I can continue
Speaking what seems to be the whole language
At the same time: twister of the tongue, all observations.
“Party in the US” recorded at the booth,
The platinum notes hang on the wall.
Active shooter in my building, Mary sent an SMS,
Right when we went bankrupt to stretch. Damn America,
We said, and settled to read father
Chapter. Wild boys will be treated
By a priest, then, but first, a school
Gardener. View on the way to Paris
Did not make him impressive, he caught the lights
Smallpox cases, and insist on having
The potatoes next to him all the time.
There are achievements that seem impossible
Right before and after: 8,000 signatures,
Become alive. You can’t think of pages
Numbers, your starving, or baby peck,
Hysterical, trying to climb into your sister
The table with a bottle of bourbon, to hide.
They are locked, calm, sending SMS.
Why does it feel so urgent to hear?
Wait, dear, I said, and Paul:
“I once did a RPG shot towards me
While dancing to ‘party in the usa’ “
We are waiting for the news: Okay, they get it.
And waiting for the word: I hate here.
“The boy has grown quite fat now,
Happy to tickle, easy to laugh,
And it seems dreaming when he fell asleep. “
They were sad that he only cared
For its own survival, food.
You can’t die with your potatoes
Next to you, potatoes means one more day.
Little clouds breathe – Cry! –
And there is a jagged peak.
Oh, it’s all painful, soft, extraordinary.
How is it contained – Hot Hot! -Everything
Custom, river menega, green chewing
From a tree, a gardener promised
He’s a new home if he needs it.

Patricia Lockwood is the author of five books, including novels Will there be something else.
