Present Tense

Academy Awards ending now
and you tell me that "Crash" has
just won Best Picture
and I exult -
our movie, baby!
See,
we own art that has touched
us,
we own
the rush that comes
from good art done well even if
seemingly by
accident.
(As do you and her and him...)
I don't know
about yours,
but in my universe
there are no accidents,
no whims...
There's a reason for it all -
like the sun through wooden blinds
and the flush
on your face
as we make love
on a broad daylight Sunday morning
mass on TV in the next room -
entirely unintentionally
but as right
as our holy sins,
our perfect
imperfections.
