Change in scenery

August, 2003
Thoughts upon returning to New York from Juneau, AK


A HAIKU

Coworkers bicker (5)
I want to seal my ears with (7)
tape and crazy glue (5)

A CONVERSATION

In the city my brain won't settle
restless distraction
late to work, late home, nothing to show
I have to tell you about my trip to Massachusetts, she said
the light in the trees
I sat and I sang.

I live in the concrete
with nothing concrete
Only words that disappear.
No, I haven't seen that movie.
Yes, I read that book.
What was the plot?

A RELATIONSHIP

You can have my love for breakfast, my soul for lunch, and what is left of my imagination for a midnight snack.

Possible solutions:

1. Chiropractor
2. Colonic
3. Take up boxing
4. Keep my distance
