Entangled


X from teen camp reports trying
events in a failing argot;
miles off, a Y trifling

with suicide--speaking recently,
though, quite intent. Both these

states hazardous, but
actually, X mocks
everything  presently

as mere  “language.“
So does she,

but won’t say it.
He lives to play

violent games
on his computer.

Our Faith to believe
he’s murdering  
the instant

she rocks
herself, nam-
ing old dolls.

Short Conversation w/Song

-(singing) Better to have love and lost,
than never to have loved at all.

-Your music captures the thud-
ding resonance better than the words.

-They're a team.

-Uh huh. How about Better to be free
than entangled?

-Flat, stale, and unprofitable.
Not to say anti-romantic.

-Love pays?

-Of course!

-Love costs.

-Yes, it's dear.
