patches of lukewarm learning everywhere
while some faces indicate destroyed evidence
for this evening , the bad joke soundtrack playing slow

How's things?, she says:
Here is so much of
nearly nothing, a thought
after object or
some other skinful
Where are the instructions?

Where are the instructions?
Assume.
This is the key.
Let the light be in his face.

You don't have to be yourself this evening. Just wear the jacket I gave you and look as if you're listening. Don't try too hard.
I'm watching him from the corner of the room and I'm thinking, I just want to wipe that smug grin off your fat face. When we get back, we're going to have words.
Let's get out of here. There's too many people talking at the same time and I need some air.

as he catches her opening helloing smile
coming out of the half dark of the kitchen as he
makes up the smile where it ought to be where
it demands of us the reflex the show of teeth
as love he remembers he remembers a smile
he remembers to smile and how to smile
In the back room
they all fold their arms
and sit up straight.
It is beautiful to look upon.
A lover, she says,

A lover, she says,
and a friend. A friend, she says.
He's slipped
He's slipped
into his pockets,
(my little sugar mouse)
a frightened noun.

Later, C is to be crowded out
of his cut glass mind with the
Pyrrhic cases of harrassment.
As always, the thin kid
wearing Commes will take notes.
Approaching sober, he talks
of his "sexual history" or
"histories" with feint blush,
spits an olive stone from between
his unchapable lips and puts
the almost tears on show.
Haven't you any sense?

A drunk's piss glazed shoes
tip tap along the white path
the thinning hairline of
the thinning hairline of
his living (so called)
and now what's over
almost showing
like dead snow
on his loosed mouth
worn like
a forgotten hat
are bringing expletive ornament
to this Brazilianed pastorale
The fingers, stiff with cold,
clutch the stem in fear as
Y empties the contents
of the bag on her lap.
That trompe-l'oeuil past infects
her grey old man's body
till there is dancing to
the here undoing music.
Haven't you got, she said,
homes to go to?
Somebody will make
a picture of the Moon
by breathing on the glittery sky ice
and writing with a finger
and then everyone else
will drift into
what looks like
like sleep
are these
falling
dirty
splinters
so thin
to go
under
the nail
what you
call heart
ening
I ask
you ?
I ask you.
