Fervent Congruence

Sunday, November 27, 2011


I would bring something with me if the cardboard
images we burned weren’t considered counterfeiting.
Its not safe to buy drugs from your car in this part of town, though
the basest weed makes to be idle sweet.
You are far from credit-friendly gas stations. But I love the seeing
that happens, as one might expect, when I see you. That line took years
off of my career, and this one shelters it. I hope you remember our jokes
about the earthquake and the hurricane, and how people asked us
at what time on Monday will the courts re-open? I read books
is how I would describe myself. How the body intrudes
with the women I think about. It takes a lot of work to keep myself
like this. Have you read INVISIBLE HANDS?
And the keys were bullets and our guard advanced. 
I like it when it talks about itself. I don’t smoke
cigarettes, and so am generous with packs that I buy every so often.
Maybe we’re talking about a paradigm shift here, getting away from
ordinary work and the pattern of Adam’s curse,
where Fucking will tend to not be poetry, though much to the chaste grins
of the audience. I don’t know where the vehicle went, nor where ought the tenor
come down, if she’s in key or what. The sexy domain bolsters
our time together: it renders my bawls and yarn useless
for the labyrinth. For eighteen minutes on the bus I had accepted
that I was going to vomit into my backpack on my way to my first day of work.
An errant shot too much, down the wrong pipe.
I grabbed the wrong pipe. Hey man, he said, and it began.
This hope needs authorization. We need to get a life.
But how long have you lived with the etymology of love?
I tested the briar arch, and here I thought that finding
all the questions was the point. The scarf combats
friction around the neck that would otherwise disincline a man
to turn his head about. The socket and horizon are the same: look at the array
of snowflakes on the window which outbrave my patience
in softening to elegant droplets lacking that resonance I would prefer.
They shake to the engine in my left ear. We shake ourselves apart,
and are named the luminaries of 20th century phenomenology.
We managed to pan out from the generation. Glory old,
old delight. Bravo to the yellow evening. Its an at least OK
goodbye, with a fervent shake. There is the fish that will not break
his stare. My conceit is pejorative, could use a lift. You weren’t adding terribly much
to this now worn-out flare of the times. And the crowd goes wild
at the motif’s return. We have found the real and I am keeping it.
Keep close, love one another. There is more we can say. So,
