mccxxxiv

Patrick Duffy walks Patrick Duffy
out of the picture.  Or so I thought
or so it seems something hours after.

What happened is I’m glad I’m
not him.  So far.  I realize I’m high
when I look up at the sun.  With whom

I no longer have a chance.  We’re all
back with someone else now.  And
moving on just fine.  Like the man

from Atlantis who dissolves into
pewter.  He’s through with being
someone else.  Is it a problem

of any kind?  Maybe I’m just too
watery, fall asleep on the toilet.
What did Patrick really do with

Patrick?  The word’s a lonely
hole sunk too deep into my head.
It’s way out of the picture.  Way

out of the picture now.
