lily is in a tiff
she says i am
like that ancient greek poet
that stood beneath the iced water falls
for hours at a time-mad?
sensitive..

sleightly telepathic?
would nt do if i was thick
as two-short-planks
would it?
and with that rather archaic expression
i am transported back..


to an algerbraic equation
if x times y is a negative then..
my father sits with a red face
i don´t know what you are
going to do-i don´t..
neither did i..

i

who says that
lily is affronted
a scalded cat
stupid..

what it means
is a refference to the
telepathic
powers we have since lost..

the mountain of life
the dreams that possess us
obscure but obvious
wisdom and love..

try again,
they say,
if you want the world
(in it´s entirety)

to know-go whisper
it
up a mountain..
i would concur..

i should say from
the serpent´s way
it was unpreturbed
my hand hurt..

we forgot..
memory only a word
hastens the day
the blank page..

the blue sky is laughing
-not an unreasonable title for
a biography

remembering the past
can be contencious-
henry ford said history is bunk

more or less..
we just forget from moment to
moment..
