Coffee House
Slumping on the chair she said
calling out to Vincent for a cigarette
knew I could catch you here.
Lighting her Vincent said
where did you disappear.
Inhaling she said hospital
Not me, him, a pause and then
My fears were true, he is positive
Sipping the strong coffee that Vincent served
with out her asking. Laughing a dry laugh she said
I also went in for a total checkup, and added,
just for assurance. Then exhibited her knowledge of
Window period, precaution, care and all that.
It’s not easy being an activist. Especially when
the living in ...
Being 1
Contemplating on the drawing board
deconstructing stresses and forms,
pursue the ever-slipping six packs,
run away from seeking souls and grouping hands
Its the time of redefining a square or demystifying
a rectangle, but of course not for directing a sun's course.
Light should come from designated gaps.
The inside out features and the outer median rejects
constructions of other kinds. Cool colors take over.
