From when it is mundanely cloudy,
that long pause
of the balcony
clinging all by itself
to the murmur
of the passing wind...
underlying
concoctions to which
my ears
are as rhetorically irrelevant
as licked spoons
i stagger irretrievably
past,the usual
scrimmage,about
the infinitely heightening
pleasures of
watching the neighbour
lady milk her tits...
Ha! The ending was a stunner. Love the line about licked spoons. I imagine, if we knew how much of what we did and said and thought was irrelevant, we might decide on permanent hibernation. Fortunately, we are too vain and full of ourselves most days, to consider such a thing :)
ReplyDeleteLong pause on the balcony sounds so welcome to me.
Annie,
ReplyDeleteYou're right..irrelevance has formed its own space around us...A long pause on the balcony would sound welcome to me too...but this is a mere recreation...it has been a long time coming...
