Too Many Years . . . and Then . . .

Something
But what was this
Thing
Something
That thing that brought
(Or was it bought)
Terrific (if I may)
Spring things
Winter things
Those (if I may)
Lingerlings
Martian and clawed
Bulging brain-vein things
Gone

Now
Nothing but flame
Chest flambe
Tasty
(Finally tasting)
Tear vacuuming
Rebuding things
So found
So fond

But this thing
Something
Simple
Too simple for
Ground bound,
Shriveling soul things

Thing
O thing
I see
Now see infraredly
Past endful
Soul solo flight
Because now I look
(When once unwantingly)
At empty super hero sheets
Partnerless Guy Lombardo
Dance hall feet
And see your
Bloodless
Holed
Whole feet
Your hands
Embracing countless
Sets of lively hands
And dancing,
Dancing mothers,
Dancing fathers,
Daughters, sons,
Soulful,
Graceful,
A mean meek
Cheek to cheek

Prior to owning Inner Projection, Jeff worked as a computer programmer and in tech. support, but hated it enough to move from his home in Connecticut to do stand up comedy in Boston where he worked with such comics as Bill Burr, Dan Cook, and Billy Martin and wrote for people like Mz.
