Blue Rock, LXXII
I rely on misleading statements. You are the Garden State Parkway. I have come to regret my decision from which locale? You introduced
prolonged times of celibacy in a tearful morning phone call to Brooklyn. I am a painful contortion trusting words you so convincingly uttered, Art Nouveau
meets American Comix. I am the debris of our civil war. You are its lazy reptilian torpor. I so much wanted to hear your three-part radio broadcast.
Blue Rock, LXXIII
Please don't harbor my Rapunzel in her wasp flight. You'll notice
curious warts on the leaves. Please don't shock me into recognizing
affairs I could have had while still married. Please don't reject
my desire as too itchy. Animal bones (even cow skulls) served
her Georgia O'Keeffe period. Please don't act so prophetic. I know nothing
of starry matters. Please don't let the sex between us die. We vowed
we'd never resemble our parents. Please tell me you're sorry.
