The days go by and I go without them.
—John Ashbery
Finding crazy means
you’re lost. And we
all care not to be
too lost, with cert
itude! There are
circumstances, but....
“The curtain and a
curtsy!” the barmaid
would always snort
after pouring the five
kamikazes. (She’d use
‘cinco’ for inadvertent but
appropriate 1990’s faux
multiculturalist unknowism.)
Those might have been
the days, ponders the one
who thinks he’s actually
in the know. Prox
imity to the hole
is always important.
