barn star
things we can't do without
where's the truth in that
identities are scrapbooks
clothes and hairstyles
pinned to the surface
dates even have lost
through counted repetition
time like a barn star
fashionable and frivolous
if precise preposterous
things we can do without
granite wind
much dreaming these days
past visions present
vivacious possibilities vying
pour venir prochain
and poorly edited at that
at least the source is known
and distrusted blithely
like the back of your hand
making the same decisions
as my earlier self
and wondering what
beaudelaire would have
for his last meal
if you are going out at
the hands of your own clock
would you want dinner or breakfast
appellations can wait
but usually get there before you
refusing uselessly to be changed
granite under water
sand in wind
all you've seen and done
like a collage of thankfulness
glazed in distance, difference, divergence
framed unwillingly between the
waning waking what do you know
and the probability of disbelief
Painting By James Gagnon "Maroon Bells" (Acrylic on paper 25inX20in)
