Defined


I am Gurdjieff Anais Jung
Lucerne winter
timeless

twenties saxophone shine
blue nites jazz

JC Pennies contradiction
Saturday sales

I am sugared Orange Julius
foam delicate
kiss

I am Elmo hearing Jello
Mick kissing David
dance

often dismissed early
irrelevant lately

I am wandering bored by trees
combed hair gone
curl

rythmn saved in tupperware
waiting for rhyme
fresh

I am lying for the job
"Heres Johnny"
flush

too young to be old with
two balls to wield
too late

I have risen to fall
hardly soft
yielding

I am abdominal apex
waiting for touch
breath held

water rushed into shallows
silted settled as
reeds encroach
slow

I am too tall for innocence
too short for awareness
I am left out
small

arms wired and tense
veins visible inviting God
soft of belly and soul

I am blue of eye
now
