194. EVERYTHING IS BUT A DARE

EVERYTHING IS BUT A DARE
A hankering for pain itself can drive a poor man wild;
the forms and outlines of the distant sky - some
triumph of old, idle hands - seeking a conquest over
the quick moments of time. After all, is not
everything but a dare?
-
In the train station waiting room,
two infinitesimally indecorous men
were talking soccer - two fools with
Spanish tongues, demonstrating their
kicks and feints; as if an oh-so-solid world
could be represented by air.
