that man

this man


i know that man

at the far end of the bar,

following a star

still shooting


because it can

and things do what they are,

no matter the scar

from denuding.


i know that man

with his stare at his beer,

ballgame in one ear

while the other


is tuned to a band

only that man can hear,

like the siren’s song steers

those who’d make Muse Lover.


I know that man

has something in mind,

a thought that will bind

and pull like a magnet toward


a line in the sand

crossed and signature signed,

Hero thusly entwined

in the backwards in the forward.
