hot shower
cold day
i'm onion skinned
friend of garlic
and i think of rhymes
like coffee and tea
and artist kayfabe
except
it's mostly just me
and you
and the season
but more exactly so
convergent infinity
so
i heard it said
on one occasion
this morning in the kitchen
with implements assembled
relayed
duality stops
halfway out the window
water drops
on leading whiskers
looks past the point
wonders
do you have to see it first?
and i often don't
it's too diffuse like
a single point?
one relation
predicate object
it's more or less but
and
different plant
apposite
also inverse
converse
suspension infusion
a rejecting
affirmation
i can stress any part of a word
like boiling water poured on a teabag
in the dark
steeped in mu-how
and when to stop?
turns back
but keeps the window open
to try again
and hear the rain fall
other things said
3b sharpened
past my knuckle
soon you'll be with the soap
my friend
but we'll always have the marks
we made together
try a surface
no ambiguity in the doorframe
no symbols there
