(or: a screw makes as good a bookmark
as any)
for Anselm, Clara, and Mark
the title is A Poem (that is also
Cool) but my fingers have other ideas
like the tempo and the curve that follows lack of
speed
(oh, possibilities, how easy we were)
when we remember what “apostrophe” is
the title is easy (that is also A Poem) but the
curve
has other possibilities, other instances
and even deterioration
oh this is as good an excuse as any
(point, deliver) but why are the lights?
I will show you
tenuous
the title is death in [three?] acts
and this is not easy but the curve and the
possibilities
oh fuck the possibilities haunt us, other
deteriorations
this is not good
but I will show you
(the edges, did I mention the edges?
I can’t point anymore, unbearable, I wasn’t
really there)
the possiblities are the tempo, the apostrophe,
the
blue label we cannot find
the diversion we need, we need, we need I can’t
point
anymore
the title is not easy, the other possibilities
exhausted
there is no map for what comes next
