"Every generation has a keyhole to which its eye is pasted." - Mary McCarthy, 1953
"Don't push too hard." - Family Motto, 1945-2010
I'm just as callous for facts
as the next cough, itch or cancer
the pillow all hardness, air of
unlit matches, spread over evenly
with a clear
jam;
Continuing on hungry when conventional
wisdom so damnably at-the-ready:
"Touch this side of the rainbow,"
one man still;
Pasted over time and filial sinew
spiny fingers
to the ultraviolet rend truth
a great hobby that skyward riposte;
Always a fall; bridle cage & lock pistons
now because this falling always:
"Keep yr hands close, yr eyes in focus,"
