Oh My My

Brian Looney

Place it in the well-lit windowpane. There it should do well. You know it’ll never bloom without the sun, though fluorescents go a long way.

Q: Describe for us your process.
A: I start at the lips and work my way down. Nothing that I do is wrong. Pistol starts the clock.

It’s a cold, cold world for dreamers. It’s a cold, cold world for dreams. But I wave hello to the neighbor as he shifts his ponderous weight in a rolling gait which propels his girth between two great trunks. A motion which causes his momentum to carry him forward, but stopping takes some doing.

This man I invite to New Creations, to give him a taste, a tincture of what else there is, to view my haven from a narrow world, as I view his from behind the windowpane. But more and more I’m finding things to like in everyone. Maybe that’s the drugs at play, their dissociating effect, which causes me to withhold judgment, and simply hang on for dear life, for the sake of equilibrium, too preoccupied to opinionate. In this state I find contentment. That disconnectedness, unburdened by the mundane, my spirit untouchable, able to endure without a wave of discomposure. Even though the baby is aware. Even though the baby knows.

Oh my my to make it last.
Oh my my humanity.
Oh my my to make it last.

When the day is clearly done,
you won’t want to close those peepers.
