or raise one finger after four
give ourselves an extra hand after six
but one might celebrate quietly after eight
this body mostly air now imperfectly squared
I’ve worked at Water Street Books in Exeter NH nearing 11 years. Stroudwater in Portsmouth NH for 7, Sheafe Street in Portsmouth for 5, and Wordsworth in Cambridge MA for 1, as well as a holiday stint at Boston University.
