Corners and Napkins |
in the end a pen takes to brick and flails
in the beginning, next to portions of four bricks
is a filthy paper waiting thumbnail, a napkin
chats about waiting in chairs at a reading to hear
then, turning the page a door slams
eardrum pulsing last cigaret looks
these are real corners you could encounter in the world
close at the scale of napkins, inside and out
what I have found, is a wave form
of course, lunar lighting. stubble of stucco -
I could tell you plenty about Stucco, but Corners and Napkins
is not concerned with stucco, some corners trap
some corners - we do not know
some corners we do, for they Deify light
lime says cool
orange invites lizards to cross
green on the produce sign says notice
napkin relieves, assures
napkin will take a bullet for the Chief
napkin signed verifies invention
napkin tapping at corners of mouth
now decide if to lie and emphasize
cloud billow sail
perfection can be routinely achieved in the photography of napkins
these resin coated colored 4"x6" papers are satisfying to compile
for the napkin photograph solicits its surface to write on and
i love cycles of perfection to ruin
some of these corners are severe
they are hard and promise it is a cold cruel world
corners you would not like in a prison guard
we like the corner that wanders for god
that cant, that wiggle, is ours
