"It's about words, and words are all I have…"

rumour has it

some rumours i have heard:

nails+hair continue to grow  in the grave

i know u are rolling your eyes  thinking  old poet

go on a fucking holiday!

 

maybe too late for that  2.5 yrs into the pestilence

i spent my 1st evening  with more than 3 people

there were 10

 

though i walked like a human  +talked like a human

i was zombified   trying to recall how to socialize  which

i never truly mastered  pre these covidtimes

 

i could tell my interlocutor wanted to escape  my wordswamp

words  stuck+defeated  croaked out   my train of thought

dead on the tracks

 

head-on collision  with emptiness  the font went dry  my left

eyesore  spied my loved one  escaping   all 10 party-people

were close family members

 

this one left me  mid-sentence  never to be heard from  again

rumour has it   he is now a porn star  in Berlin   fuck him

there was this terrible weighed down feeling   in my chest

 

mantle of mourning  for former life  rife with  concerts  libraries

+the temple of Gehry  making out with strangers in cafes

much sashay

 

old age is not an obscure rumour

except for in the

first two thirds of life

when it’s a cry for help

__

Summer 2022  ..okay okay..don’t get all depressed..
