To Say

Mike Brennan

To say that I miss you now
is to call me sadistic
with the sirens dulled
I can think and breathe
a        little bit        more
than just Marlboros- your car foggy ambulances
& the sudden screams
of abortions returned to sender

The
wombs of
night
promised    &     filled
with a morning        HALLELUJAH
the weak is over!!!
strength instantly regained with
instant coffee
&
how much did that all cost me?

So just buy me another, darling, baby love,
because Jazz never dies
but Rock sure ages

& I react by not acting

& our everything is
just
an empty café that soon will be closing

& this engine keeps staling

whenever I reach what might be a
vantage point
to running this endless
human race
towards no finish line in particular

except for        some kind of        inconvenient end.
