Drunk I kissed the moon	A
where it stretched on the floor	B
I'd removed happiness from a green bottle	C
both sipped and gulped	D
just as a river changes its mind	E
mostly there was a flood in my mouth	F
	-
because I wanted to love the toaster	G
as soon as possible and the toothbrush	H
with multi level brissels	I
created by dental science and the walls	I
holding pictures in front of their faces	I
to veil the boredom of living	J
	-
fifty years without once	I
turning the other way I wanted	K
the halo a cheap beaujolais paints	I
over everything like artists gave the holy	L
before perspective was invented	K
and for a moment thought in the glow	M
	-
of fermented bliss that the bending	J
of spoons by the will was inevitable	C
just as the dark skinned would kiss	I
the light skinned and those with money	L
and lakefront homes would open	N
their verandas and offer trays	I
	-
of cucumber sandwiches to the poor	O
scuttling along the fringes of their lawns	I
looking for holes in the concertina wire	G
Of course I had to share this ocean	N
of acceptance and was soon on the phone	P
with a woman from Nogales whose hips	I
	-
had gone steady with mine I told her	G
I was over her by pretending I was just	Q
a friend calling to say the Snow Drops	I
had nuzzled through dirt to shake	R
their bells in April wind This	I
threw her off the scent of my anguish	S
	-
as did the cement mixer of my voice as did	T
the long pause during which I memorized	U
her breathing and stared at my toes	I
like we were still together reading	J
until out eyes slid from the page	V
and books fell off the bed to pound	W
	-
their applause as our tongues searched	X
each others' body When she said	Y
she had to go like a cop telling a bum	Z
to move on I began drinking downhill	A2
with speed that grew its own speed	B2
and fixed on this image with a flagellant's	I
	-
zeal how she returning to bed cupped	B2
her lover's crotch and whispered not	B2
to worry it was no one on the phone	P
and proved again how forgotten I'd become	Z
while I bent over the cold confessional	C
listened to the night's sole point of honesty	B2
