Day 17
I wanted my Daddy
to tell me
everything was alright
Rather than telling me
how to do
everything right

Ah -- the distinction.
The distinction I most strongly recall learning from my father was the difference between
pile and
stack.

4/17 poem
End Game
Remember,
once you were good
for nothing—
now every day seems
to be all of them.

How Sarah Palin Ruined the Wink
She straddled a balloon perched on an anvil
or a flying goose– tracking from the sky,
the edges of everything ran down the page.
Her skirt was red, her lips were warm:
your kisses are wasted on me, she said–
the edges of everything ran down the page.
Far from apples, or planets or nodding heads,
a duck falls, a dog runs, a small general
in a red helmet watches from a distance: snow
or sleet dissolves whatever lucidity
there might have been – life used to make sense.

Well said, well paged... it's all about the lipstick
