ANDY CARTER

And That Is Where My Love, Somehow, Starts

Pedophiles hiding the episcopacy.

Jorge Louis Borges dreamed Don Quixote.

The power of rhyme over thee.

A white man says the world is free.

The end of a sentence is a problem, you see.

I say this honestly.

Lemon.


Lemon is the New Conception

Hey Paris, lemon could help you
outmaneuver it.

Could help you undefine it.

"It then becomes."

The beautiful thing lemon does
when you are inside of it.


He lives in New York, The Big Lemon

Nicholas is a lemon eater
and lemon leader and precious in a way
few men care to comment.

May the yellow continue distributing
its self around the city as long as he
may choose to remain.

Oh, I would also like to say thank you
to Mr. Jack Spicer for everything else
that never gets said.

The first mistake I realized
was the length of my young life
and my friends have so many ways

of telling me they are lemons
that I might never account for them
all sooner than too late.


Lemon Reconsidered. Kathlynn is 1 year old

lemon is an insufficient
circle around the sun
there is no
more than lemon reception
there is yes
Kathlynn, you are too young
so miss me
there is no
feeble detail but not
there is yes
Kathlynn, in opposable thumbs
you miss me I hope
that lemon needs to know
there is no
scarlet fever suffering blue
there is yes
Kathlynn, my sound for you
soon will find me
a lemon but not
there is no
there is yes
