1073. CARAMEL DOWN

CARAMEL DOWN
'Don't forget the edges and the corners,
be sure to coat it all.' A few flies buzzing like
tramps around a feeder, a cat on the sill, watching
what happens. Nothing like fire in the deep of the
night to make a man feel primitive again.
-
Over the near horizon, a waning moon dips its
waning song - pale light, half-eaten away, and
only a lunar memory of the primitive tribal within.
'I carry nothing out, because I carried nothing in.'
-
These are all my quotes, and you can look them up.
You who imitate the others, you who copy copies
endlessly - 'before rigor mortis sets in the rigor
will win. You'll be taken out in a box.' No, no,
I never said that last one. Now leave me be.
