On Art:
Two people see a butterfly and one will want to put a pin in it.

Five AM.
After working all night moving periods around
before deciding to remove them altogether.
Seems like a fitting time to realize:
You're going to be 22 in four days.

I remember what it was like to make love to an idea;
to feel it pressed against me: hot and moist and writhing.
I imply no metaphor, but refer to the actual physical sensation.

Living in an impressionist painting
is a series of
squints
blinks
teary eyed,
questioning
glances


·


black frames and a patch over one eye.
As I stare through borrowed glass,
the world warps and pulses
not quite how I left it


·


dark lines meander to
delicate fingers.
Not so delicate, Porcelain.
Mind and muscle,
your eyes
send a city soul to his books


·


early morning hot dog
you
you are the heart
of my gas station romance


·


these are the gray days, the depths
soft dim light
over mattresses without sheets
the slow realization that the plate of plain spaghetti
has dropped to the floor
shattered, broken
the mass of pale noodles reaching out
like some poor medusa's wig
lazily stretching downward
picking up a stray zucchini
and slowly chewing


·


the summersick
sipping water and swallowing
with eyes clenched, subtly pained
brushing a fly off the windowsill
replacing the silence with the sound of a fan
feeling the cool air on your sweat
and
looking down to see your nails have grown
and
are blackened with the grime of time passed
while you were unaware


·


my mind is thirsty
if not novels or curious facts,
I stay up late drinking tidbits
of private lives


·


tattered, worn comforter
more comforting for its wear
wrapped loosely around your body
somehow more worn for its comfort
