JANUARY, METRO
	
	a young girl giggles,
	shirt tail girl,
	sundress girls in
	a few months 
	you never can
	imagine ever
	needing plastic
	surgery. High
	pert asses, thick
	dark brown hair. My 
	mother always said
	my hair had 
	golden glints as
	hair dressers thinned
	what was too thick.
	If I understood
	Chinese, I'd know
	what is making her
	laugh and smile
	so. If I understood
	how in this grey
	back to work day she
	could bubble, 
	half sing, maybe 
	I could try to too

IF YOU WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW SOMEONE SAYS
	
	you have no
	imagination. 
	If it's the blues
	I should use 
	Scrabble words
	to describe
	men in a coal
	mine, all poly-
	syllabic. Alembic,
	Polymorphous,
	nothing you 
	could see or
	touch, certainly
	not feel. I'd 
	have the miner's
	semaphores rise
	minus the distraction
	of a one trick
	retina, a Betty 
	Boop dance, 
	a wafer of the
	cross their
	languishing 
	women taste falling
	and falling

RAGE, JANUARY
	
	the only color
	on a day of 
	pewter shapes,
	a deep red, 
	color of a 
	tulip of
	blood. Its
	glass petals
	so fragile a
	heart beat
	could shatter
	them stain
	Wednesday
