BLUES FOR DICK AND JANE
All things are on fire
even the moon. See
how it puckers
around every
orifice?
We burn at different rates.
Most poets go mad
of discover
others fixing dinner
who will share
what they
have
made
the conversion of matter into energy
our hearts strive for
at a ratio of 2:1
but its
never as easy as
Dick & Jane
or anyone
loves
someone...
it was Spot
they watched run
who ran away
and set them both
in motion
