Waiting, I suppose, to feel at peace
They trudged through the rubble of a ruined city
Sometimes it was crucial to clear the emotional desk
I have never known how to use them, of course
And then the next day I just left, without any reason except that I did
We are honored to have you here
All those trees
Come along, please
Going to be dark before long
She didn’t believe anything I told her
I’m not listening to anything
I don’t want to think of where she might be at this moment
The thought had crossed my mind
But I’m just like you, or I was a year ago
I remember very well when we first met
No one drank anything stronger than champagne
Those old wives’ remedies
We need more true mystery in our lives
It sounds like a charming place
It dies hard when it is really going and you are into it
You’re perfectly O.K.
We should live in this time now and have every minute of it
He had a face that reminded me of a frog
I went on up the street looking in the windows
In those days you did not really need anything
This was the worst thing that could happen
You expected to be sad in the fall
Anything we’d do today would be fun
Each has its own beauty
I am ready for anything
We don’t even exist
He was loud, boastful, vain, domineering
There was plenty to fear
But nothing happened except that ordinary life came back
There were signs of improvement
And whose ghost might I be hunting?
Gone fishin’
Seeing the color red
Each day of sun might be the last
I watch the streets
His arms and legs shooting out like starbursts
He is no danger to anyone
He can get everything back in its right place if he’s quick
He can’t seem to get it right
Everyone’s capable of everything
It smelled of motor oil and friction heat
There are no windows
Where’d the hell you come from?
We live in a city of (rough) approximations
All poems cause side effects
