Like magnetic fridge poetry, but with my books. And no fridge. Or magnets. And too much time on my hands.
Manhattan, When I Was Young
Like life,
enormous changes at the last minute.
Don’t get too comfortable:
sex, sleep, eat, drink, dream, love & heartbreak, madness, naked bad behavior—
eating my words, before, during & after.
Seducing the demon, writing for my life,
sifting through the madness for the word, the line, the way,
and the heart says whatever.
Don’t know much about anything else.
