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.
