a cage in the forest



tell the blind man there's
nothing to see


let the politicians
fuck your daughters


don't settle for the facts when
the truth is what really matters




don't worry about man ray
dead now for 30 years in
paris, and i still keep
waiting for his call




i stand on the edge of the
porch roof, next to the
hole in my house where the
light pours out




look






the days are shorter now
and all of my fears that much
closer to the surface



no amount of poetry will
ever cure cancer




no man who would ask for
your vote would
ever give you his in return




these are things to think about
while you watch dorothea
undress, and when she asks if
you love her, you should smile
without answering






you should
kiss her breasts




words aren't the enemy,
of course, but it's always
best to act as if they are
