we
stalked the boundaries
like
lazy colored money
canadian
turned graceful
or
charming
by the
hope and the harm
of him singing sad-swagger
‘another
false alarm’
and
‘that’s
why you’re on your own tonight’
i took
the time to check
it was
important to get it right
in spanish
she established
that the replies
would
come slow
since
there were things to seek
and places to go
but she
did say ‘think about it give it some
time you’ll know
when it’s time to know
when it’s time’
a
belief he clung to
as days
turned weeks
turned months
turned slowly
to
winter
when he figured she would need to
slow
the furious roll
taking a neo-grammatical toll
on
every post modern idea
of companionship
on
every mosaic-film
relationship
where
knowledge is gleaned
in brief moments of passing
where
the opening chords of
‘this charming man’ come slashing
out of
gas station speakers
pencil
vain eee-ahh ae
were
the gold is long gone
and
there’s not much to say
once
you get north of pittsburgh
past where sunshine stays
there’s
just focus and road
and time delays
