With my muse in a coma thoughts retreat to their home: a distressed set of walls with tympanic windows. I bite my doorstop-- was there a sign of forced exit here, near where occupants died? The afflicted are lifted, sifted, and reenlisted: Invalids working ‘till they’re sleeping or jumping. Yes, my head is a hospice for plans, lines, and lists. “Idea-less idealists make for selfish hosts,” he says, “Hosts or hostesses.” These live documents are the opiate of the word addicts. Let’s keep these words working ‘till they’re sleeping or jumping.

I’m swinging from your mizzenmast, you ought to cut me down fast before the welcome party on the other shore sees me, before ample examples of your carbon-copy cartography, dead demarcations in bottles reach the beach. Maybe I leapt to the sea. Or maybe these handprints on my back tell a different story. You leafed through logs and loosed the lifeboats, hanged me with my own ropes, the ropes I tried to use to bind you to the mast when you were on the receiving end of sirens I hope you were deafened by my splash, because if their voices hit your ears this time, after my burial at sea, they’ll lure you to the rocks for sure; no one will make it out alive. I wrote these songs in the belly of a whale. It’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. I will keep swimming like I always do. Even dead, I couldn’t bear to let myself just float.
