tongue
             had been del-
ivered to the wrong
auditorium.

It Was the Laughter What Killed Him

Where is

it all up?

How Will I Know
(If He Really Loves Me)?

We didn’t know a riptide
from a peptide, but we
knew that we just had to
find ourselves a yacht, we
all said in unison.  Then
well just get ourselves
a yacht, we each
thought silently
in simultaneity.

God’s like that, said
Martha to Penelope
the next afternoon.
Men!,  harrumphed
Penelope, So total-
ly off the map!

And they are, to the
very end.

It was decided,
by Martha, during
a beautiful dusk,
one day near Rio
de Janeiro (and
elsewhere, and all
at once, because
she was God, after
all!), that what she’d
been truly aching for
all these millennia
was a godchild.

It had been an
eternity, probably.
And it had never
occurred to Her
before.

Assumed Stasis

How do you erase
a jerk who left you
his everything, kept
you hanging for ye
ars, whether unin
tentionally or not.
Now, we’re each
just waiting around
for a newer jerk.
For one jerk apiece.

Clematis

Late summer party for work.
Theme: Oktoberfest.  Hung
with Angela, Jon, Terence,
little yellow butterflies. And
I finally ascertained the name
of the tree with the purple
flowers.  “So California!”
After the party we walked
down to Polk Street, heard
some fireworks, barhopped
a bit.  I called Nick, who
shows up soon thereafter
with one of his girls, flirted,
met up with Erin at Swig
with a big furry cat.  And
I only sipped at a straw-
berry-basil-something-or-
other.  Then we were off
to Coco Bang for Korean
BBQ and watermelon soju.
There, we also saw a
butterfly.  These things,
they all happened.

I said I might still have been a man.


Thats wrong of me.


I am still a man.  A very broken one.


The truth is onerously painful.


I am in pain.  I am so ashamed.


What hurts the most is that which can remain neither.

Memorys Miserable Without You

You’re such a New York boy.
But look at me.  Will I always
be craving you?  (Look at me,

stupidly believing I’ll always
crave you, always cry out for
you) as I wake up with night

terrors (they’re terrible, so);
that’s what they’re calling
them now.  There’s a name

for it; there’s a whole society!
I suppose I’ve never been
unique.  This thought brings

me back to “Unique, New
York!  Unique, New York!”
and now faster, says the

director of Much Ado About
Nothing. An anachronistic
production set in the 1920’s.

I was Don Pedro, and all I
really remember were the
quick and plentiful costume

changes (often a uniform
of any sport you’d imagine
Jay Gatsby playing).  To

be playing.  I just played
on play-acting for years.
But you?  Do I actually

even remember you?  If
only I could say “Maybe.”
If I could just say “Maybe

not.”  But what if I told you
I remember EVERYTHING?
What, then, would that mean

to you?  Or whomever?  I
skulk around trying like mad
to be remembered for some-

thing.  To forget, even.  Per-
haps. Yes...No.  The truth
is, if I’m so very forgettable,

then why do you try so des-
perately hard (it seems)
to completely erase me?
