Talk Fatal


I'm not prepared for his enormity
my thoughts are so small

he takes me to the edge
and drops me over

where I have work to do
problems to analyze

the hidden to uncover
moments to remember

tears to run from
empty space to breathe

whatever this
whatever that

a place to be myself
before I die

Remembering you, In the theatre



I remember you
in the theatre--
shiny mylar circles at our feet--
colored paper strings
falling from the sky,
how your hands
bent a little at the wrist
when you clapped like
a child at Barnum and Bailey.

I remember how relaxed you were,
there in the fourth row,
comfortable and slumped a little
in your auditorium seat
with your legs crossed.

You reminded me so much
of my brother watching the
Three Stooges on the floor
in the living room,
when we were young.
He would laugh 'til he cried,
slapping his knee.

So much about you is still young.
I want you to know that.

I remember thinking,
Who is this man?
I thought I would
recognize him
after seven years
of talk,
of writing,
of erotica.

Never Enough (great depression)



never remembering
I paid yesterday
in cash:

a survivor of
depression
(great with not enough)

she's obsessed
with food and money:
eat this
don't eat that
you owe me
