Crossing Like Two Ships
(not a hypothesis)
Do you have a favorite magazine?
Do you consider yourself left-wing?
High maintenance?
—John Ashbery
Maybe. Yeah. Well, without the wings.
And , , , no? Who cares, really? The
talkers won’t listen. The listeners
never get it. If there were that
rarest of exceptions, we’d be
nothing save star-crossed.
Plus name any measure
of distance. I mean,
were you actually
there, and you
actually were,
I’d then
ask for
a very
large
number.
Which, if put
to work would
equal the only hard
reality that exists. I mean.
Hypothetically speaking. As if doing it.
Living it. Being it. Breathing it. Abhorring it. [ Y A W N ! ! ]
