not the puddle of black water your dunlop volleys fall into, not
the cold wet between your toes for hours after you had forgotten it ever happened, not
the lime green shirt-tail popping out of her olive green pants (everything else was in its right place, even the gradation of black in her hair), not
the pink flowers of eczema on her arms—i tried to outthought them, but they stayed in my head for a little while, not
the pathetic white cotton towel tied around a broken pipe on the men’s urinal, not
the milisecond wait before the sloan automatic tap washed the dirt and sin off your hands, not
the conblocks everywhere under your feet, grey, white, black, the rare red in front of my office, on their surface more pamors than on a sendang sedayu, not
that anyone here would know what i mean by pamor, or sendang sedayu, unless you read him every week, not
the surprise moon over suburban rukos’ rooftops, the way it makes you feel good about being out there still at 9:31 pm on a damp tuesday night, not
the caterpillar of clouds that ran along an invisible branch off the trunk that propped up the moon. not
anything.
