___________________________________________

Through the greenest burgeoning trees

a white van sits in a driveway, the silhouette

of a man's head rushes back & forth like rain

that suddenly begins without a resource,

but today there is embroidered sunlight,

seems brighter, nearly infuriating, animated,--

an unbounded eruption of Damascus.

I could be a volcanologist when I boot up

my computer, or like when G.A. cupped

my head in her hands, pausing at first,

then forcing herself to continue.

April rain, shifted, shaved my face as if to

trace my flesh as if taboo could fit inside

a handbag. My body was created for

holding tightly. This was years ago before

the U.S. sported a dictator; this was before

Seance Specialists were writing speeches

to faux intellectuals for the pleasure of

ringing alarm-bells. A terrorist bites into

a candy-cane, everyone bites their tongues,

their nails. Polydimensionally. I am asking

myself if I could duplicate personal expression

by staining underwear for Art's sake.

Somewhere in a hotel two lovers are sitting

so close together in the lobby that their thighs

are overlapping. I think of this because

an episode of fantastical & realistic memory

is born like a buffalo race that is held in Florence.

The balsamic vinegar of my mind is boiling

like a valedictorian's ego. I dislike negative people.

They are like anthropomorphisms; their mouths

like woodsnakes, their words with deficiencies,

spindles of round-end shingles that look to

twist out spinal-cords. Satire has arrived.

I go to sleep like a Renaissance painting,

the character behind the oils. I miss being

loved. I open my heart like a proverb

& grip the safety gear on the rails

of Answer's undressing.
