Dogfish

Excerpt:


You don’t want to hear the story

of my life, and anyway

I don’t want to tell it, I want to listen


to the enormous waterfalls of the sun.


And anyway it’s the same old story – – –

a few people just trying,

one way or another,

to survive.


Mostly, I want to be kind.

And nobody, of course, is kind,

or mean,

for a simple reason.


And nobody gets out of it, having to

swim through the fires to stay in

this world.
