Peace Out

I can't blame the teenage girl for being forward, then passive aggressive. It shouldn't make one angry; she has her interests and that which bores her. Or the adolescent boy for being antsy, a little loopy and aloof. Under that hat he wants to be good, is deeply disappointed with the world (and the food). Robert Francis: the finest poet no one reads. We care not. Such prisms of philosophy need no acknowledgment. The catamount is only believed to be extinct. The wildlife tree, a mere bole, deep in the forest, far off the road, when it falls takes many squirrel turbines and spider spans down with it. Noon, Julian has nothing much to do and likes it that way. That way nothing much gets done today. Every man, every tree, lives with disabilities. Crooked finger, rotten bole, under stars, over soils. The I in my old poems is no longer me. The one in this one will be someone else soon.
