All stories of deception are empty.
                                     —Alice Notley

I am speaking to the poem.
There is no meaning.
Therefore...

I have tried different things
like putting together sentences
with and without punctuation

and the last couple of days
scrambling the lines
after throwing them together quickly
(some clumped
from 2 or more portions of the ledger).

My sense are diminish.
The steam off roofs come.
Cloud the days like this one.

My soul real narrative
arguing around a table of grapes.
An apparition.   An apparition
are great.
