at least the whistle’s at a distance

Should I open my old notebook? It reels
from here to there in my head, cleaning a
few things (clearing a few things). Not
really. Nothing—neither here nor there
(unlike with him who
’d have all things
at black or white, never gray). Beige
like Jenks’ horizon, but with littered trash
so colorful the jazz almost erupts anew
(he loves San Francisco because he plays
the saxophone) – the newest date is Dec-
ember, six and a half years ago? Before I
thought this was Mick Jagger, Mick Jagger-
furious. What am I missing from this biggish, 
furious riot from over seven years ago? I wrote 
something when there was nothing else to 
writethough it seems I presently have 
EVERYTHING to write. Calm. A western 
calm and nothing less.

A western calm and nothing less.
