the moonstone      that’s a piece
of cheese fell out of the moonstream

                                   —Robin Blaser

Stocks are up after the Fed cuts interest
half a point.  Coco the Loco watches me
snip nails next to the bathtub.  Next is you,
my love, a panoply of opaque sliver-moons
into a wet trashbasket.  A haze over the bay
doesn’t take it over, just relaxes it.  3-
ring notebooks, computer notebooks,
logo’d pens and gargoyle postcards
litter the desk.  Not to mention the
poems.  Vacation dwindles into
history, snow-capped Rockies
flatten into a rainy desert
with great suspense.  A
conversation about how
unhealthy it is to forget,
strictly held via instant message.
