thunder like artillery from some phony far- off war from storms moving through bear canyon seen from the apartment complex parking lot reminds me that these days it's always pouring somewhere even if i'm standing in sunlight under a harsh and beautiful blue desert sky there are no valid reasons why we're together in this place no valid reasons why you love me why i love you and christ do i hate that question that request for reasons as though it were as easy as naming the four seasons or the presidents or how high is mount rushmore? keeping score is strictly for game- players we live in the now in the insistent persistent present moment which lasts as long as we want to live it and the shoes fit damn good so we wear 'em playing it out and playing it as long as we can overturning the high-limit tables just to steal the chips and throw 'em into the rio grande |
