"Gentleman at Leisure" by Jason Steel
after Gu Cheng
the fish on the counter—the
fish wrapped in newspaper—the door
to the kitchen—blue— the bird is

the ground to bed the bulbs always
tips up— tulips— two lips—swinging
dee dee—the weight of the fish dancing back
to the air on a string— and
your legs stuck out—jerking forth
