digression [08 Dec 2008|03:46pm]
[ music | animal collective ]

how do i dissect my life?
by years?
events and places,
poems and people
i have loved?
have i loved?
"i don't feel 20", she says on her birthday
we were dizzy on the thruway eating gas station food
spoke semi-philosophically but mostly about sex
hysterical
prompted thoughts of how
i would cut up my life,
divide it into lines
or perhaps eliot's coffee spoons.

you were older then,
and cold.
i hovered on a hammock on a hot summer day
your voice in my head, but a stranger's face
and
for the first time i felt that you were someone else.
i hid my childish guilt in my hands,
between my knees,
swinging in silence and laughing at dogs.

i keep replaying the instance of you on the floor
looking up at me
reading old words, four centuries old.
i wonder
how they're still valid
and align them with you.
