Born again normal in a nullish world
dance in the drugstore waiting for
your pills
your pills
description is prescription
ask the subway florist for gardenia
you’ll see why later she explained
walk along the esplanade all those
ships are thee
ships are thee
nothing’s better left unsaid
or are you Irish before all and
grassy
grassy
I want to know where the lost ones
live
live
touching our fingertips together is
enough to start the dance
enough to start the dance
a flaw in the pattern is the meaning
of the weave
of the weave
a gnat drinking salt from a child’s
eye.
eye.

Music finds you
it was made to do that
to be small and slip in everywhere
the crawl of beauty through the null
you don’t hear anything if you listen
don’t listen to the quartet like a
mechanic checking the engine
mechanic checking the engine
listen to music the way you go to sleep
all of you at once
all of you at once

required courses in tonality reality
a proud humility is the way to do
anything
anything
listen reverent as a king hearing the
first robin in spring
first robin in spring
can you do that can you take it
gently in the hands of your ears.
gently in the hands of your ears.
