JANUARY 20
A tube of liquid paper
squeezed out as needed
for temporary writings
on wet park benches and such
because what needs written
has too much meaning
for real paper.
Directions say you'll need:
one 2' paintbrush
a hairdryer
a fountain pen and
an ink well.
These'll figure prominently
alongside runny words
and grass-clipping contaminated
parenthetical thoughts like:
(Dropping a slide projector carousel
as a bus arrives at it's stop.
The slides damp and punctured
hastily scooped up and shoved
back into place- out of order
helped by the other waiting passengers.
Water mixes with the liquid paper
only this time it was the tears
of passengers mixed with my own
instead of rain and
lawn-clippings.)
