Greg Easley Poet I do not know?

I Know

spin your head around
been there before
supply and demand, I know
I know

nap-matted hair
pair of eyes, deceived, disbelieving
a tongue long since fattened
of rehearsed exaggerations

we could cut a deal
symbols of uncertainty
these three or four things, I know
I know

an ached and breaking back
broad shoulders shrugged already
both arms reaching out for
the habitual hug of whoever

cause and distraction
her carbon monoxide
but this is your train, I know
I know

two fistfuls of mercury
untried feet so sterile and
an impatient heart
still pure

far below and high above
when withered to dust at last
I'll taste real love, I know
I know
