Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
stacey...it's summer...no school - the livin' is easy, fish are jumping...cotton's high...honor celebration and possibility...cast off those "chains" of judgement and set off for the "territories" with huck (or rex, as the case may be)...
"there is no stability in the world...all is experiment and adventure. we are forever mixing ourselves with unknown quantities"...v woolf, the waves.
