mi amor I adore you madly gladly you delight me in all the small ways and in all the great ways I am continually floored Barrett & Browning wrote about it Bogie & Bacall have it forever in black & white we lack that kind of glamour but a happy girl who knows secrets tells us that we have glamour in our hearts yes that sounds right remember the night we drove through the desert late to the casino we drove through miles of stars then we peed on the side of the highway and I was drunk but I drove us home you coached me I kept telling you I didn't handle stress well but you saw us through that idiocy and all the idiocy yet to come why is that night so engraved typical of me I guess the weirdest moments mark me no one but you would understand or even try my brave sunset spirit guy you know I love the skater punk with the purple hair walking down Central and you know I love Danny Bonaduce and Chris Knight and the editors who love my poetry even though it doesn't glorify mesas and canyons and you know at last I love you best I love you real I love you through puke and pain and hurricane evacuation routes lousy with Dubya lovin' rednecks with all their dogs in the bed of the truck fuck fuck fuck at last 30 some years late some intensity finally some truth enough to make a good Ruth outta one bad Bathsheba. |
