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.
