jaysuschrist this irritation was never going to go away 
                                                                                       was it
                                                                                                      forever to contend with 
the eclipsing rudeness of people who were too callous ignorant or entitled to what they 
believed they deserved                 no matter the disguised sighs  harrumphs  or muttered 
under his breath  gimmeafuckinbreak                    as he tried on civility

seems everyone he brushed into had to be in synch in touch in jive with everyone else 
on this diminishing planet 

                              whether they knew them or not
                                           no distinction                                                                                                                       
no limned walls curled with ivy like pubic  which onceuponatime caused a middling of 
discomfort   some modicum of shame
                                                           if he could he grab it by the throat and choke it to 
blackout  enjoying its bulging eyes and scratching nails  itd sure be good to come home 
afterwards  shower  and enjoy rubbing soap into his wounds with an innate gleeful 
satisfaction
                                        only if he could grab it by the throat  
 
                                                                                                     but thatd be rude     
as rude as they were to him   and others    who may have been too polite to speak up
fuckinsaints  each and every one of them

                                            far  far better people than he       he couldnt dislocate his 
backbone to be a polite get-along and so and so if he wanted

he was a muthafucker

an impatient muthafucker

and if someone stepped on his toes                                                                                
hed slap them in the head saying  Watchit yasonofabitch


and                                                                                                                               
as people teased amorous couples publicly to get a room    without a blink to disguise 
his glare he chided 
                              Whydoncha get a phone booth

22.5.14



peerless crystal orbs filled with viscous coloured liquor boil 
emitting vapours the colour of their liquor
those who inhale them
breathe deeply
become intoxicated 
                                  mesmerized     ardently pursuing those delicious perfumes
they became amnesiacs who forget who they were
who then are founded anew
and forgotten again

the carpets and the surrounding cropped lawns out of doors are traipsed by happy
amnesiacs and re:amnesiacs
I introduced myself over and over again to the same faces who appeared as delighted
the third or fourth time 
as they were when first they met me
always smiling and relaxed
taking my hand emphatically between theirs
and after awhile   
the queerness in me flees
the queerness initially fed when introduced

                                                              I would say my name   and they were untroubled
unperplexed they hadnt a name

Then what shall I call you

I think  really  that does not matter  I do not think I will remember

it neither mattered or were introductions remembered
                                                                                                          they were always gay
they would always embrace me take me around the shoulders and wander me near the
orbs
insisting I enjoy
and when I graciously declined  they shrugged indifferently  inhaled deeply  and said
                                                                                                            See  there is no harm 
It is beautiful 
and inhaling again
                             smiling again      It is beautiful      You are beautiful                                                                                           inhaling                 Who are you

when you are asked who you are as many times as I was asked by these beatific faces
you begin to wonder yourself
were you this tag you introduced yourself as
were you who you said you were
                                                or were they more who they were than who they thought
themselves to be or could never remembered themselves   
                                                                                               to be

the orbs smoked incessantly
wafted or rose in blushed slender columns and spirals
their syrruptitious plumes
                            captured under wood eaves or against dappled ceilings melded and
swirled like galactic beginnings  surreal fabrics
                                                                               and were ever more ever more enticing


                                                                                                                         Who are you
are you who you are
