Fool Enough


I feel personal 

doing my own thing


I forget the details 

handling them


Can’t help I’m led by the ear

pinched by it


I take my attention 

to distraction

as a kind of willpower


I want to be at least as ongoing

as a steak on a string


new as anyway

and no better for it


Inside’s the longest way to look


not at the Moon but at Buzz Aldrin 

whose mother’s maiden name was Moon


Whose idea was it?


It strikes me simply

and thusly 

each day how it is


The excerpts

the signal

the whole of it


How where there’s light 

there’s heat

and where there’s heat—


you’ll know it when you feel it


I’m trying to tell you 

the rest of it
