DescriptionLetterpress printed poem by Elaine Equi, titled "THE DAIRY QUEEN AT SUNSET".THE DAIRY QUEEN AT SUNSET
After each private episode
one re-enters society anew
amid cowlicks of light
a swirl of voices
sharp in the nose
and razorblades of grass
sharp is "the taste
of noise" after silence
the cool residue
of an electrical disturbance
carried home
in a paper cup.
