7 things

a long weekend
green grass
ice cold beer

a man who plays every song from the musical hair
on the piano

a hammer

brass nails

a soft pillow

wigs



something funny happens
when you put a man in a wig

or anyone
for that matter

smoking



i love watching you smoke cigarettes
you look so tall and mean you

mean what you say you
concentrate on nothing
but white light you

look like you could
kill someone in an instant you

are so fine-tuned so
focused i could

break

lost



every once in a while
i get lost
in the dark woods

feel

i can't find my way back

but some strange birds
seem to lift me
from the quagmire
to the surge again

and then slowly to desire and

when i look back

i am thankful for
the contrasts

microcosms



nothing fascinates me more
than little worlds within worlds

sometimes i think i've come from another world

populated

by munchkins

the fridge



it is a good thing
to have a full fridge

it is a kind of tea-leaf reading
waiting to happen

o i think food
says a lot about a person

like
when you are in the check-out line
and the single lady has
17 slim yogurts
and an apple

and the bachelor
you can spot
from a mile away

with his steak and instant
coffee

and the mother of three
who needs two trolleys

and me

buying strawberries, flowers,
and champagne

just praying
for a reconcilliation

smiling



people look at you funny
when you smile too much

they seem to get
really disturbed by it

unless

you meet another smiler
and then you know
that they know
that you know

and everything is at peace
for a super split second
