Love and Complaining Go Hand In Hand
He sits in sterile tranquility
tension between public and private
written on his face
a faux walk
tossing out enough self-effecating wit
to be lobbying for equal treatment
but in the piece of a borrowed office
in quiet spaces
life re-emerges
small pleasures
familiar images
buried twinges
somewhere between simple touches and complex
long ago you kissed the names
but now something else is slipping away
no wonder you rise in the middle of the night
with mind on-ramps
your heart could not be probed
where it starts in clarity and ends in mystery
you see the city life
but are not observant of it
it has a corrosive affect
offering an angle
growing gradually then explosivel
sailing alone
he complains
but he has nothing to complain of
