9/11/05 - hello falls like stream of con- ciousness a perifery of death to remind me i am still alive "Hello"
hello can be such a sad word if someone thinks you're dying like "Oh are you still here?" or "keep your distance" or "Oh, hi Steve" in a far-away melancholic voice hello is a mind-grill a wrong # sometimes death is a pale perifery we all ride sooner & later sometimes an edge to pull back from i am upstairs in my head pale looks eyes cast downward half-joking "Oh you're still here?" i ask the crescent moon such a bright evening to sweat in to catch the signal & switch tracks " mine eyes have seen the glory.........."
