to-night is one of those long nights
where i have a moon conversation
tell it my dreams & fears--it just spits cloud-wa-ter
back down in my face
where i climb the roof & clear
my throat--close my eyes
& pro-ject my melanchol-y toward the stars
punching the empty sky
it happens occasionally
some-times under a gibbous moon
(i don't have a choice)
where i lay on the cold grass in sweat-pants
shout & sing to the sky --or--
run a-round getting dirt in my toenails
swatting pine-cones out of the hands
of low-hanging branches
my ears & nose tip shine
under the feather orph-an
clouds
where there's still wi-fi no matter
how hard i tried to escape it
i get twitter-pated on a pretty girl's facebook
but never introduce myself in person
where i listen to mahler in the dark &
receive spectral messag-es
write scattered dew-drop poems like
ginsberg did
rock back & forth
maybe cry a little
rub one out--
finally
go to sleep a-round
dawn
--------------------------------------------------------------
& wake again
snug as a bug
sleepy numb--reluctant
to find a ********* poem
w/ my last conscious fingerprint
expand-ed into cyber-space
