Tonight, let's remember the fond ways
our fingers engendered new methods to praise
the gray at my temples, your thinning hair.

“The External World of the Internal”

when the Internal 
finally woke up,

it was like all the words 
in that book, flew at It

Winnie, wild-eyed, went insane
and sang “Happy Birthday” in the rain, 
while she washed away her bloody pain.

I've noticed a new favorite word
in 2018
was "toxic."

And, in on-line discussions,
a newly invested discernment

It exists, like...

WALKING ON WATER
	
Saint of the Golden Gate Bridge
they called her, blessing the
crowd with her tears, performing

to the cheers of the enchanted,
flinging, first her pink raincoat,
her high heeled shoes, fluttering

down like doves, dancing, twisting
out of her...

Too fast! It hurts!
It travels at lightspeed!
Ruins calm. More than I need!
Help me please!
This monster brings me to my knees!
Wild eyed. Animal's panic.
No reason. Life is just Titanic.
Too much to see, need, read.
Copious substance.
Im a...

    Stranded between this and your goodbye.

Early days as a flaneur;
I recall the couple 
On the Metro
When I was still innocent 
Of its labyrinthine complexities;
Slim pretty white girl,
Clad head to toe 
In new blue denim, 
Wistfully smiling
While her muscular black beau...

she listened to his whisper


he was so chipper

A bird that dips and wavers
Over lone waters round,
Then with a cry that quavers
Is gone—a spectral sound.

severed from the blue-green sea,
nevermore to scurry...
