ON LOVE,

'i'd rather be working for a paycheck than trying to win the lottery/besides this time i think it's different, i really think you like me.'

i didn't really want to talk about love-i promise, do you believe? i meant to tell a joke, or fix an error. but when i walked in the room and we sat on the couch; round, ragged, and giving...i want to be round raw and giving...well we didn't plant our feet. We were transplanted, you see, hugging our thighs like beloveds we keep at a distance...an appreciative view. i introduced myself with pictures-here stands a tanned man and his long coat rolls like parchment-here is a girl-here is a girl-here is a girl who remembers every day the virtues of warm water and cold-behind that forearm is line- behind that line i keep my name-everywhere i go i see that line, i hear those words, and i remember my name. if you say those words the line, it itches, and i try not to flinch. BAM! we played thumb wars, and i never let you win...you break the biggest grins when i'm on top...and then fall off. we see-sawed on the cushions, holding eachothers wrists. i wondered if economy was anything like this. i'm glad you pulled up your carpet. When the music pours out onto thin wooden boards, i see it marching like mose's last plague. When the music marches, the sun shines a little whiter. When the music marches it's an army made of cats. Wadd'ya think of that? Well the swing felt like trees/ so i got up on my knees/ swayed like i had a disease/ rhymes make me dizzy. And half-standing there, i thought it might be nice...it might be nice...might be nice...be nice...well? Nice of you to break that line, we broke the wine glass, and i poured the red. My name spilled out like meloncholly Pollock, catching in my jeans. My pulse. I played it over the music marching on the floor...you could be my Krasner; i'll look back-i promise, can you believe? 'It works.' and you don't stammer...i throw my name against itself like a hammer. conai. arfor. aitco. the hammering of Achilleus' armour. "what immortal hand or eye/ dare frame thy fearful symmetry" The stars throw down. I woke up on your couch tied down by Delilah. I woke up on your couch, and i wondered who might be waiting for me.

"Whatever reality is it appears to have a vested interest in you"-^minorkey

somebody's been snooping around...sorry nothing new...prompt me...muse me...here's a scrap (well, this weeks napkin story): I waited for the man with the drugs. I had to leave as the book had finished. Reading pushes karmic energy into the air, which is pleasant, but finishing a book boils this energy into the air to near-saturation. It threatens to calcify. It is oppressive, inebriating, and brisk air or night drives are most rewarding. The move is by no means immediate. At home one can dawdle over dish washing, or standing at a mirror, and believe they see more in these actions; that they are more. They are not. The reason of this leisure is obvious- those places with more memories can hold proportionately more of the karmic energy. This is also why reading in new places is more tactile; lower levels of saturation. The literature seems more accesible; as if it has more. It does not. I did not know this place. So i left. I returned 10 minutes later. The saturation level had dropped but not too much as the guests were long-grieved guests who could be relied upon to stabilize the atmosphere. Atmosphere is related to memory in a student/mentor relationship for reasons which are obvious. I began to write. I waited for the man with the drugs. He came in a white 'Monte Carlo' bathrobe. I suspected he had only brought me jalepenos; which i detest.
end
thought about adding some line about the atmosphere making the jalapenos seem like more...but i think the point comes across...also the man needed to be amused (i read some of this to him but it creeped him out). now comment.

note to self-what was the deal with the two dimensional woman holding the wooden record player...who was spinning on it in the black dress (emily dickinson? MF?) and why'd she have to go and swallow her anyway?
