We’re All Gemini

Here’s where enjambment goes wrong.
You’re in love with stupid and try to
confuse me with numbers.   That’s no
way out of your pickle.

My understanding about Language
poetry has been...that what we have
had in common...was the underlying
assumption that nothing was to be
taken for granted—about poetry
and about language.
   (Steve Benson)

The extended anticipation of a
massage that will be two hours 
in duration.   Which two hours?

Closing the curtains to ‘do the needful’.
Taking somebody else’s voice ‘out of
context’.

Everyone is an artist.
Even police detectives.
