italian


"ma che cazzo"

and that tree on the back patio?

Just call it “fica’s benjamina.”

noiseless food

the mannerless goo

nameless mismatch

and goatee-less moustache

tried forever

to fried food neverland

and begged

the ring

to let go of your hand

it speaks to me

of where

and special places

traces of love

and the faded photographs

of 45’s smallish talking

barely singing

hardly breathing

o don’t believe

what you can’t see?

Think again that it’s

All about what you witness

As your own experience

What if what you exert exacts

Its vengeance in allowing

You to believe you hold the reins?

Rights for the providence

And ceremony

What if we can grant nothing

And our tolerance is conceit

Disguised as lust? My metronomic heart

Speeds hastily toward a coda-fied conclusion.
