Wishing For Fiction
Monday, July 13, 2009

You got me thinking in Latin funk
like every step you take has is being backed up by a horn section
and I may not be the last Coke-a-Cola in the desert
but we find the right corner in this club
this café could melt your sugar

this has poet has gone dark

And I’m walking the dogs late because we are all crazy from the heat and we only get crazier without a walk and I see this girl and I think her name is Olivia and I think she was in my homeroom class which was called Quality Time at my school QT for short I think that this is Olivia and I remember thinking that in sixth grade she seemed about 17 and now that she would be about 17 she looks about 14 to me and she is taking sunset pictures she says something to me but my ears are full and we say something to each other but I don’t remember what it was because I am too busy remembering that I used to think that if had a daughter I would want her to be just like you as I walk these 3 miles I am thinking that 33 seems like a lifetime ago and just yesterday I heard two poets talking about how they just want it to be over and then my full ears hear Mongo say that this poet has gone dark as in this poet’s present presence is not presently detectable on the world wide waiting waiting waiting and I’m thinking now it being over is fine but I still want another chance and that this poet has gone dark in the meantime walking almost home I think that I want going dark to mean that the trailsides are scattered with fireflies of the daughters I'm not a father to and that I’m naming them all Olivia

"We humans, like gods and ghosts, love to eat out own species." Wang Ping

It has come to my attention that you are otherwise engaged
which makes you all the more appealing
Fortunately for all three of us I've given up on other women
you included

As I recline she leans over me
her focus on my mouth
my lips parted anticipating her instructions
her breasts pressing against the top of my head
Open please
If persistent testing of my gag reflex is any measure
this intimacy is incomparable

I'm thunder rolling across paradise
axle deep in dirty blues and bad habits

The leaves are out of season rattling
or no
They drag crisp edges against each other
it reminds me of drum brushes
like me learning that something I thought inanimate breathes
like not knowing the difference between inhale and exhale

She is smarter than she looks
and she looks meat cleaver clever
sharp but not precise
This is how she seems as she sits
subtly disengaged
Her nose wrinkles up as she yawns
like she smells something unpleasant that she has decided not to notice
But as she stands and points and paces several steps

the lack of precision is an exhausted illusion
She is sharp like predatory teeth
