One New Memory
were hidden inside
pocket size computers
and memories
became notifications
delivered into the
lining of my pants,
moments of my past
appeared randomly
like a leaf blown in
from a tree I could
never quite determine,
on a breeze I never
saw coming.
I was slapped in my face
only once. My father’s
hand had an electric
message for my
left cheek that
told me in no
uncertain terms that
My mouth was not
as smart as I thought
I was.
I marched this stinging
feedback upstairs and
my mirror held onto
the moment for as
long as I wanted this
one new memory
to stare back me,
a burning angry flame
only I should be able to
extinguish or reignite.

Math Happens
once one was me
and one was you.
Math happens.

tiny frozen atoms,
dots of light
confetti colored;
a floor to make an impressionist smile.
Animals
our cars are practically touching.
Engines running, they are
animals, pausing
having caught a scent.

lacquered in lavender
and crowned by the moon.
I know where YOU are,
but whatever became of
your lovely dress?
Poem (For Ted Berrigan)
It is 9:39 pm and three minutes
after the last time
I looked at the clock on the VCR.
I memorize minutes.
The eight Path takes between Hoboken and the Prince St. station.
The twenty it takes me to walk a comfortable mile.
The single tic it takes for my eyes to spill
my saddest memories.
The six it took me to write this all down
and call it a poem to you.
[2002]
(There is a solution)
a serious change is needed.
You need a new you.
One we can both live with
