the fish you catch.
Yeh you! Think about it,
I've got a wife and kids, like you!
Bite me!

please wake me up
give me back my senses

desk. Is it me or an
imposter in my clothes, drinking
my tea?
My tea

My pencil is HB.
My paper is lined blue foolscap.

I write
as though writing
were breathing, and poems
the food upon my plate. Prepare
to eat
to eat,
Rachel says is
a party in your mouth.
what then does kissing YOU do to
my lips

my lips,
unknown chakra,
Kundalini kisses,
the burning that does not consume,
moist fire
moist fire,
seething crackle
of this tense encounter,
the whispered howl of shattered light

into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving

fun houses
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way

I wonder what's so fun
about it? Turn around and walk
away.
away
to that one place
hidden behind the door
where red books are read undisturbed
