    Reverie for Tommy Lawrence

    can’t say won’t say too hot
    and the trees are flashing a silver signal:
    i am a red-eyed dove
    the breeze a suggestive flailing hiss
    my eyes heavy with yawning
    where next is there anywhere left
    to save
    oh forgotten legend
    oh gentleman
    oh flying pig
    and the world doesn’t matter any
    more than it always has or hasn’t
    while we’re slipping not even reluctantly
    into a weight of life which we call death
    becoming the compost for more and more
    of this scratching that we say is tomorrow
    but has always been and will always be
    right now
