perfidious switch
further this dream
allowed
stock mired
plot bound
whirling brilliant
room of a single
window fan
the representations
presented
with each breath
the slow turgid turn
drowned in reasons
at the cricket song
race track droning on
stretch out the miles
with tiny files
we caress aches
like a painter pushes
pallette color on an easel
beneath the dampness
the tone deaf hues
the stone hunchback
on cathedral waits
as an emerald script
tedious and methodical
shunts minutes in an
arc swift hour clock
bureaus and business
like locked worlds
no key can unfurl
with a twist
and a silken blue band
that uncoils to the floor
touched with light
from beneath the
bathroom door

bureaus and business??
bureaus and business
like locked worlds
no key can unfurl
with a twist
and a silken blue band
that uncoils to the floor
touched with light
from beneath the
bathroom door
What a comparison, and yet so true :)

we put lives in bureaus...
partitions..mistresses..wives..concubines..
others...
pants etc...
love like a business
what we get
no matter what we give
or dont get
and if you dont have that
cardboard and suitcases gym bags
and less...
like refugees
maybe the formalitiy i speak of is inside anyway..
