“Because captains aren't like
poets
they don't make metaphors
between the sea and the sky.
And as I thought that to myself
I realized -
that's why I write.”

“You didn't need it anyway,
it attracted too much attention.
Better with only a shadow.
Someone wants your shadow.”

“Oh yes, In Love,
that demented rose-red circus tent
whose half-light forgives all visuals,
fig-leaves our lovers,
and softens our own brains
and the pain of our sawdust pratfalls.
So tempting, that midway faux-marble arch,
both funfair and classical—
so Greek, so Barnum,
such a beacon,
with a sign in gas-blue neon:
Love! This way!
In!”
