Cadences
They set out snares
amid the symbols,
and all but the high-
hats cared. After,
I forget my glasses!
Like a piece of you
omitted in confusion.
Well a kind someone reaches
my cell, and I go briefly
back. You relive something
different over any return.
What seems gone being
restored, of course. But
more than what’s discovered.
Why you make up
in love
of Hope.

The Return
Life Story
His existence in the city exploded: fired as a drunk, and
Jen getting final decree, Mips thought he’d just stay in place.
No reason.
But Arthur texts cd use u as mom dad altzheim tgthr.
On the empty train platform of rainy midnight, he bellows
“Welcome Back Great Success!”
The cab stuck at a light, ghosts of other rainy midnights
in the red windshield as the wipers crawl.

Returns
Cape Canaveral Hospital requested
my return to pee more in a bottle.

or Sinatra's, I nonetheless complied,
the pressure of performance dim-
inished by time.
