Some nights there are
no new places—
just old alleys where hunch-backed shadows
lean against locked doors—
and all the voices that leak from open windows
are rain dripping along the piano keys of arguments
and testaments to perseverance—and love wedged
between the kitchen table and the sink because
there is no other place for it—and the evening news
is read like a comic book and history just sits
on the sofa—history/dumb history smoking forgetfulness—
and whatever words I think should still live there
have been pulled from the face of this earth
by aliens—have been corrupted by the existence
of chasms between one moment and the next—
have been frittered away to the hunger of needing to write.
