of tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi-
lust of intentional indifference.
Be wet
with a decent happiness
-Robert Creeley
yes, yes
that's what
I wanted,
I always wanted,
to return
to the body
where I was born.
--Allen Ginsberg
we have all been brothers, hermaphroditic as oysters
bestowing our pearls carelessly
no one yet had invented ownership
nor guilt nor time
we watched the seasons pass, we were as crystalline
as snow
and melted gently into newer forms
as stars spun round our heads
we had not learned betrayal
our selves were pearls
irritants transmuted into luster
and offered carelessly
our pearls became more precious and our sexes static
mutability grew a shell, we devised different languages
new words for new concepts, we invented alarm clocks
fences loyalty
still...even now...making a feint at communion
infinite perceptions
I remember
we all have been brothers
and offer carelessly
--Lenore Kandel
our stash is in our elbows
our fix is in our heads
god is a junkie and he has sold salvation
for a week's supply
