Sunday is Tuesday in Lebanon (Savonarola)
Sunday is Tuesday in Lebanon
Green is Blue in Spain
Bill is Rachel in the country
and behind my eyes is pain.
I’m slipping diagonally between different views of time and place
and it hurts my head.
In order to stay on the surface of the earth
I can only pick certain times
and certain people.
Skipping staccato across a crowd in Panama
briefly inhabiting every 3rd teenager
slowing and finally dropping in on a 12 year old
by the Cathedral
who is praying.
Surprise Pablo!
I’m a brand new voice in your head.
I’m not God, but a kind of friendly spirit.
wait . . .
Dang.
Lost it!
It’s suddenly Florence, 15th century again.
and they’re lighting the fire under me now.
I’m toast.
