The Forgetfulness of Living


for Rock


We have tiny quarrels,

around 1 or 2pm, when

the simmering clouds begin

to boil. I'll shift weight in my seat

while you go on about it all.

In the evenings we enjoy a fire


and our small company.

We'll tire of tea and find new

inspiration in the bottle,

everything becomes reflection,

revision-- the forgetfulness

of living.


Discussing the lamp shade,

first drafts of long

distance poetry,

where we're going to go.

I've spent so much time

with you today, you


who should have become

bothersome by now.
