Can You Get In The Army With Eczema?



(an old poem)


TENDER & SAD

Speak for me this piece is of John, or whatever, no matter

think this is a creed. I think that little
think the TV screens all together
explode one day and the chips look
the eyes of those who live life on a couch
and lost the opportunity to look out the windows I



think I'm in the last eight seconds of three minutes

a good song and the music fades

and I smoke a cigarette lit another

have to extinguish fires. And pay

Kubrick was right, a dream is never just a dream

I believe in the tenderness of the stranger who says
I know the sadness of those who know me know me
and is, in my absence, as a
unknown grin believe in the fish out of water
believe in the escape of prisoners
and a moon in me

dirty nails, thinking not so clean, bare feet

All cheap pen can write
most expensive words must write on the front pages of every book
a little prayer, slow lines will rosary on a creed
nobody pray.


... I think you
