false bay

I lose track of time
every chance I get
it’s dicey
I imagine I am required
for a task or talk
reports garbage to go out
the sound of a jet that imitates
Diamorphoses by Xenakis
whipped into a void
for a few hours
before I have to watch
the phone ring
*

a false bay
you could walk on the water
most days
even the stones are where
they should be
it smells as rotten as it looks
beautiful
breathtaking in both senses
*

trends
how to prepare
for the last fabulous
percentage
*

I don’t see any profit
anywhere
we became the thing we hated
*

transparency: remain a spectator
always
*

talk about the bubbles
stuff that you like
to stuff yourself with
craftsmanship in ruins
that’s how sure we were
a slap on the wrist
every minute
marking it up and sending
it back
*

    I love how you write about dichotomy , your human observations of duality are fascinating. Very clever writing…
