a timing device
(leading w/the middle finger)
The difference is different
trembling as it would be a certainty
Those colored squares & the woman that
holds them there
in the mind
patterns built of patterns

"machetes on the mezzanine" comes to mind
pursuant to & not for nothing
exploring every vacant lot from Santa Cruz to Eleusis
I once had thought I'd live out my
final days in Big Sur or Bolinas
a one-room shack filled w/books, empty
picture frames & a wood stove
but my final days are now
& always have been
