7.31.14 and other dates of insignificance - 3. Poem Three, Otherwise
Otherwise
by Foster
My mind glamours
All my faults deceived
Into beauty…
You have to be philosophical
About a flame
Never the same
About a breeze
That sneezes
About a pee
That tinkles
About the earth
Compacted
Ashes and distraction and the necessary and the grave abound
Reaction
Response
Random
Runs on
Naked
I cannot be seen
And clothed
I’m camouflaged
The difference between a body that becomes a corpse that becomes a cadaver
That references me
A shelley never revived in lightening
In a distant hollow mind dies memory
You have to make a sound
You have to lift an arm
You have to
You have
Nothing
Otherwise
8.9.14
Saturday just isn’t only for Saturday anymore.
