In Imitation Of For Love Poem by Juliana Spahr
In Imitation Of For Love
If he or she is clumsy in places, those are clumsy places
and when he or she says I have a lover or a husband or a wife, we or I feel sad,
or is it just clumsy?
can't one make it simple, or at least simpler?
or why can't it be that way for just one moment?
I am writing this on a hip pocket pad, a waterproof one
but I am not crying, never crying
and it never rains when or where in some northern or southern or western
or eastern city I am writing
to tell you I've got a crush on you
cootchi coo
the waterproof cost me extra
the words are extra; they don't come with the pad
the crush, the love is extra
and you are extra.
oh, wake up.
Amazing flight of imagery has added spice in this simple and straight forward flow. Nice write and deserves recognition as modern poem of the Day. So, heartiest congrats.
