SAME; DIFFERENT

SAME; DIFFERENT

my pain
    is not very good
at breasting
the way

whatever my pen
might say
     (so gotten
into the habit
of speaking
     for itself

talking
to itself)

stick me in
a foam bath and
then I should
relax into
this enterprise

weave my way through
word possibilities
             dodging
linguistic dissonances as
if they
were titanic icebergs

whatever
quantum fluctuations
float
   your boat

Hokusai moment
at which

to posit the implicit
connection between
metatextual
             and sexual
you may
well considet joining me

adding to
poem fun index

we could
   team up tempestuously

come up
with something fine
and expansive or

cut the writing altogether
(in our altogether)
