And I’m sitting here
with four generations of
women and as surprising
as to me being
a man they appear
to be just girls
girls talking about girls
things painting their nails
and hairstyles and dresses
I don’t think that
I can describe just
how cute and beautiful
they all really are

Again
So I met someone
again someone always again
someone asked when will
you have someone again
lol that’s what I
always have I chortled
I have again someone’s
they migrate they come
and they go these
again someone’s like the
circus they set up
tents and entertain and
ooo and ahh and
again they go with
the frequency of the
seasons it’s always someone
again and again again
Starting
And then it starts
it starts again the
start always does start
at least it starts
It starts like a
cold January motor grinding
and growling like a
drunken giant righting himself
like an engine with
water in its lines
sputtering and spewing and
puffing and finally choking
sending clouds of white
skyward only to evaporate
It always starts like
this starting like this
and ending like that
too just like that
LoveSex
I love love I
love loving and now
at this late stage
I have finally learned
that love is not
an expression sex is
an expression love is
That’s all that love
is Love is So
before you run out
to have sex in
order to find love
remember that sex is
an expression of something
else it’s always an
expression of something else
AlwaysDoes
I didn’t think I
was but I am
I thought by thinking
that I wasn’t then
I really wasn’t but
when in fact and
in reality I am
I am looking for
love again but having
looked for it before
and it not being
true my looking is
now shielded as though
I haven’t yet discovered
the bomb but know
it’s there so I’m
already covering my eyes
Oh please don’t let
it hurt this time
for my body now
is less of me
and more the shrapnel
I’ve absorbed by way
of the previous explosions
