ennui

what do you want

besides to be wanted

and not need to mention that there is needing

in that soft place

in my heart among the fat and food

where only you can be

meaty and liquid

like the last rain before going

to where it will always evaporate

as a breath that only knows heat

life

and how both will still lose

when more is wanted

*

you must understand that in another life

i am a professor of french literature

discussing the fine sex of foucault and

how the error of elitism is the truth of elitism

and that there is that some other quiet literary life of i

where i am quite ordinary

fudging up poem about a little nothing

but a distant dream so foolish

so as to not have the

how is it said 

worth

to be written down

above is from a book of poetry i’ve written, entitled “a mess of you everywhere inside of me“.

it is for you. it is about you. it will tell you how to be you again. get a copy here: https://goo.gl/zsyqVD
