(un)Pretentious since 1991

Two Poems Written in the Same Day

Waiting to Meet Ted Danson at the Chillmark General Store

 

Slightly rocking

a wait more frustrating existentially

than Waiting for Godot

yet the sandwich was good

as you came not at all.

 

Knees Up and Saturn Continues Its Shallow Voyage

 

And I will admit four full days passed since last guess at time

Never less sure of

which will prophecy another age of becoming I

Which loss relative or comrade will shake listlessness from turpitudinal eyes

Forward forward slightly.

 

Let water rush through fallow hands trailing currents in directions

That I do not know final partial but fragile destinations

In a little Catullan boat floating drearily along summertime sunshines

Clouds dispersed in

Rhythm

To take up rest in cirri of solar rays

In a Pollack scatterplot

Space it out to find

Another way to be high.

 

I see you here too like ever before

And after and after and after

And such things that dreams find surprising still

And after and after and after and after

 

I refracted through a finely twisted lens

slipshod inside our private maladies

Humming positive melodies in minor keys

We once forgot to sing

A lyric so Cave.
