Poem
HUMID by Hank Lazer, from Portions
humid blanket thick
air wrap this
body awkward walking
as in dream
as with tongue
thickly coated &
speech a dream
babble wanting to
but not able
to say proper
words of blessing
superfluous i suppose
to bless what
is much more
than too specific
us begin baruch
& soon hit
scripted mystic unpronounceables
