unlearning what we’ve learned is the final frontier


         (living is easy with eyes closed

          misunderstanding all you see

 

          nothing is real

          and nothing to get hung about – the beatles)

 

 

 

taking time for tasty tacos

on the north coast of morocco

within the western hemisphere

where paul bowles sipped a stolen beer

 

across the sea you texted me

to count to one and twenty-three

but math has always been my fail

how many drops will fill a pail?

 

i haven’t time for ought but rhyme

and thinking oranges are limes

across the sea you bothered me

with loneliness as a decree

 

but i am standing on the shore

of where i’ve never been before

i take that back, matter of fact

my membranes market the abstract

 

what you cull as a disorder

is just piss marking a border

i’m not hazy in a crazy

you see flowers, i see daisies

 

you need truth to fit your ease

dismiss me with a known disease

but i’m not trying to distress

what i perceive is my assess

 

so leave me here upon this shore

i know i’m easy to ignore

unless you quest within my nest

i’m not sure you really exist
