“Why so quiet?” you ask, interpreting silence for
distress, disturbance or, worse possibly, boredom.
What should be said?
“I know a woman who takes her shirt off for a living”.
“I know a man who can K.O. another man in only
one punch and now lives in the Kansas State Pen”.
“I know a man who can hammer nails into his nose
and a woman who ties cherry stems in her mouth”.
“There is a bowling alley bar where I drink for free”.
“There is a hospital roof where crows prefer to perch”.
“There is a secret name for god and it is nefarious”.
“The smallest gong trembles with expectant vibrato,
to end the era of hexes”. “My mother has suffered
the same post partum depression for thirty years now”.
“Brownstone buildings are not brownstone
But instead brown stuck brick”. These things could be said
but who is listening? You are not. My center simply
seeks that part of me that is yours,
that is at peace.
