Things That Remind Me of Newton's Universal Law of Gravity
Flight-times to Thailand
and bombshells
[both kinds.]
Inside jokes
which are derivatives
of other inside jokes
which are derivatives.
How a bench can be
just a bench,
or it can be an altar,
or it can be a bar,
or it can be the saddest place.
[A week of rain
and whiskey
and soggy cigarettes
is not a valid prescription
for anything.]
How the mud washes
from my fingertips
and makes a river delta
of my sink
before I eat.
Pink flesh in general.
Prison cells in general.
[It was touch-and-go for awhile,
but at 30 I can comfortably say
I am not an albatross.]
Trying to forget.
Trying to remember.
Trying in general.
All the little things I want
but never buy.
