The writer
The writer writes didactically, tautologically
as though the act itself were euphemistic youth.
It is a casting of stones, a breaking of bottles.
Flames rise from the bones.
It is all beyond description. (a damned soul
who could not speak of it, but only moan--
he told me so) There is no plot, and the plot
-thickens- while characters bore.
The day is green, and mercilessly mercurially
miraculous in reliability. The practical sun
-hangs- within impractical sky. Orange peel
dries in the ashtray. Nothing more.
You are given no choice but to look anew
at the complexity only a simpleton enjoys.
