an agenda
old business, new business, negotiations, nominations
and new business
to lay out our varied projects,
without all these miles between us half of the time
the grace of the functional line
a keel, a shaft
the arrow or passage itself
Joy & Anger
parked on a downtown street
strewn with flowers or
the time when everything of ours can be in one place
a lobster in a wineglass
a speedometer
an early SAAB fitted for racing
an antique light bulb, a glowing vacuum tube
the interior design
to accommodate mechanisms and man
a hand reaching upward
a bowl of imperfect apples
An avid Sox fan.
a slew of calls
a slew of dolls
a slew of idols
a double-blade broad ax
after that day on Plum Island
I’ve never again looked
at a kite or a diaper
quite the same
