Sunny Reformer —
our building looked like
an old man’s pant leg
we lived in the knee
your hand grew a flower
& the other grew a stick
your legs turned into
snow skis at the bottom
& a possum floats by a man
who is squatting
in the shower.
This is an excerpt from my
autobiography, Notes from
Spy School. The chapter is
called “Failing My First
Decoding Test.”
