maybe it is not enough-

enough evocation, satisfactory-

to stare at the pictures of my friends in my home.

to talk to them.




i am grateful

for object permanence
before the big one

before the oil spill

before the sewage disaster

before the toxic sites erupt

let it be known:

i stared at the pictures of you

hanging in the living room of my

mind because i didnt have

nails or a frame in real life.
is poetry just naming the

5 things you can see

5 things you can touch

5 things you can hear

5 things you can taste?
