something from a vodka party, Minnetonka, MN, Feb. 17

Terpsichore takes. but the trauma
the ideal aches. but the time is phenomenon.
for you to see our naked shapes.
it's a splinter under the skin.

---

perception is as perception does.
serengeti and the rapture. blue.
a territorial time. perception
the chime the plaint torture out
of change, torque before statement,
stars! stars! the cats know more than us.

---

tuddle tuddle the wood the wood
the fire the wood the ignition the english
the old bright the unblown harp the unignited.

I bet I knew which end they kindled, they kindly
ought to place the wood in the balance of kindling?
have you ever had the WHITE CASTLE PRETENDER?

---

terrace out of spontaneity.
the terrible date that was an hour ago.
"I wrote great drunk." -- how was it?
"it was riveting, it was so riveting."
