filling spaces

more clinical
then eating oysters in Key West
or sailing the
pools of sweat on your belly after sex
is the lining of shelf
with yellowed news print

for in it is the filling of space, and
the repeat of history
headlines not forgotten (never being lived)
by preference

do you understand such sentiment?  really
the print is too small to
follow along
for what i want is
the attention of detailing
in this relationship, and  i want clean
with a taste of
curry
giving that
exotic curvature to this transparent world

my hand is drawn to
flat and firm, as texture is to easily redefined
by a generation
as lies become truths and
legend  - fact

while along we swim together eating of
oysters and producing oral
history - but Really it is the filling of spaces i prefer
with yellowed print
like curry
