remember
And all will pass
into the indivisible love
Andre Breton
Remember that -oh so long
ago when we were
ships whose sails
were not made
that day hour by
hour
And ‘oh these things happen’
But now, the winged
octopus will no longer
guide this —!
For life is not always a cabaret
Sometimes it’s just pitching
coffee cups at the trash
after consuming endless days
of creamy middles
and no wafers
in sight.
* *
Or incognito
as the signs
we’re waiting
to receive
while the unspoken words
are put out to sea
And what a shanty they’ll make
And the scurvy they’ll cure
And the doldrums they’ll surpass
And oh the cargo hulls
they’ll begin to fill
So soon they’ll
throw unnecessary passengers
overboard.
