the final cut
THE PACIFIC OCEAN ! IT’S THE PACIFIC OCEAN !
bookend dream to the man with a giant baldhead and
megaphone-mouth bellowing: SECOND HALF OF LIIIIIIFE ! at 36
which in judaism is double chai old cabbalist lore gore
i’d consulted a rabbi bill maher’s doppelgänger who stank
of mould kasha herring pig not in a goodway he was my sensei’s
rabbi the guy who left 16 needles in husband’s thigh shoulder
buttcheek +later when he undressed for candlemas there was
another in his crevice he still leads with this at times (hey i didn’t give birth to him)
acupuncture my ass
last night’s dream what can it mean? go west old woman?
newly shorn sacrificial+lamb hair was a complex red for some
30 yrs +more now a neighbour shouts: oh you so rock ‘n’ roll
with spanish inflection
as i with the courage of a flea come down to Lake O to find
the Pacific Ocean? but this particular transformation is gonna
require a plane balls +a deep cutting of strings yet here i sit
spewing words all cassandra-deep +blue
