oh
disasters factories memory and actors dossiers
—Barbara Guest
I wonder what will happen.
The importance of being notebook.
I holler at the writings of Tim Dlugos.
There is a canyon between it and me.
Or at least a Great Divide.
(I drop a shoe down into the divide
as I down two aspirin
plus “cold crunchers” from the office
medicine cabinet,
so gung-ho about the break-up, etc.)
After dealing all day with it’s now
cold,
the aspiration and the perspiration
simply do not add up.
ducking
poling bumping sinking and swimming
and
we arrive at the beach
—Frank O’Hara
