"At one point I'm pretty sure I said, 'Go fuck a duck you ducking fuck'"

Incidentally, Most Days I Feel Quite Peaceful

I don't talk to myself

very often these days

I write

some simple words

every night before bed

and shut the book before

it gets to be too honest

but today

I woke and cleaned the drawer

of bills, old things, and et ceteras

came across

some cards and before

I could box away that

urge they were

flung forth and I was

speaking

in the rose madder of the

curtain I drew across all of it

wearing the same pajamas

I've had for three spins

of this;

My Rolodex memory and I are at war

but the

I is determined to have My say.
