I had a happening this situation raised itself out of obscurity and existed what is real resists telling but I’m all for felling imaginary trees but the real ones please to leave those in their places the cabinet spaces have room for one more but there are secretaries galore and ministers and more the departmental heads the shredded cheese another shade of cheddar and it’s better to imagine that an accidental tragedy will have a happy ending will go back to tending rabbits and caring for carrots and beating the rugs in the middle of the night there’s a bite and a bark and the spark of a thousand ships running on air the static too dynamic to catch up with the fried and the smiley faces racing toward a yawning moon too soon to have an answer too deep to have a chance we’re ready and we’re willing and for now we’ll take top billing even if the pages don’t turn even if the keys won’t burn fast enough to top the locks and turn the chapters the adapters of dust from dawn of lawns to chairs of staring right in the kisser and missing the point there’s no joint in these knees there’s no bee in that honey there’s some money and there’s the change I’m rearranging the comic strip to trip over itself to put on a shelf the greatest of easy cheese and other products of an unnatural sort we are purporting to turn organic we are manic without being panicked and when I have a garden a porch a window you might imagine I’d need a house but that’s all about perception and there are quite a few more lessons I’d like to learn first I’ve been trying to rehearse the lines and rehash the potatoes the tomatoes and their secondhand gyroscopes the hope of a thousand vegetables picking their full from the vines the roundabout times and the unpublished papers the press and the neighbors and when we have a bonfire let’s conspire to croatia to an unexamined life vanishing in the ashes the trash is taken out and the doubts the green the stream the river runs and no one can catch it
