6623. I CAN'T TELL ABOUT YOU

I CAN'T TELL 
ABOUT YOU
The shards of the broken cup, all that ceramic 
blown around  -  I picked up a few pieces I 
know I'll end up using on something or other. 
Paintings are good disguises, they can hold 
many things. I want to hold this coffee on
my little finger instead  -  looking down the
view from here is awesome.
-
There's a cat in the alley meowing. I want
to hold it until it purrs. That would shut it
up. I think the Springtime drive for mating
must drive these poor things mad. Sit on this
ledge, look down, but make no noise.
-
Endless streets. Endless Philadelphia half-measures,
endlessly wired streetcars, endless wads of poor people.
