| you sit very carefully
in the old aching rocking chair
that just fits into the baby's room
and hold him,
watching his eyes close slowly
-open abruptly-
and you begin again,
very carefully.
i sit in the living room,
with timid movements,
and dream. | | |
| last night i watched fireworks
from the roof of a rundown building on the West Side.
the city didn't bother to entertain the people
that walk across the street without looking
and let their kids stay up til midnight
and discard their old alcohol bottles on the edges of the granite curbs.
so they spent their money, probably all of it,
saying fuck you to the city,
and lighting up every street i could see
for miles
anyway.

| i hear my landlord yelling in the apartment below mine
"he fucked it up! he fucked the whole thing up!"
a voice that leaks upwards towards the cieling and floods my floor.
i wear your soaked slippers, size 12 and consider the beginning of everything -
the universe formed inside the womb of an elephant.
moist comes from
the old man comes from
mouths of babies come from
this warm elephantine womb.

| a blasphemer in buffalo
what difference does it make, now?
cooking, cleaning, putting on a sexy shirt,
a bra that once was new and is now a reminder of our poverty.
my attempts are feeble, and i tire more easily than before.
western new york soaks up my sweat,
i give my secrets to this city -
i feel her vacancy -
she and i are bored housewives.
what difference does it make, now?
i am, by myself, a blessed being,
a beginning and an end.
a blasphemer in buffalo and i don't care.
what difference do i make here, now that i have such a chance? | | |
| in the morning, i'm moving to buffalo. just thought everyone should know. i'll still have xanga and email and all that, so...email me:) | | |
