5222. ANNABELLE PERCY

ANNABELLE PERCY
On the whole, the entire rock rolls : out in
the harbor I'm watching the New York seals
cavort their Staten Island waters, under the 
Narrows Bridge, where Fort Wadsworth stands.
There's an old, historic house here, set high on 
the waters, Alice Austen house, I think. It looks 
out, its steely chance of living again, but now
chained by Park Rangers and all their idiot's
delights. Even chained Liberty couldn't beat 
off this pack of mules. Yet, I find accommodations
I can make to most anything at all.
-
Annabelle Percy please have mercy for a fool
and his vanquished ways. A man blind from
birth cannot learn high-speed travel so easily.
A man born without hands must drink only from
the waterfall or stream which lets him slurp,
on his own and dishevelled, from his wet and
open hands. Outside of this moment, I may just
now say, I have no other moment to go to.
And you are right in ten million million ways,
(though I am right in one).
