I did not have a single thought of any kind.

There was no stopping anywhere

As my feet
pound
ponder

the punching bag

As my socks
astrally project
a reflection

on the lower E


There is a blue dream
of my dream girl

pounding the Everlast

voiding all violence

enhancing all romance

I Don't Feel Bad About Whiting HIM Out

________________________________________________________________________________________________


If there was a picture of her, 
I would not have whited out 
him but this is not about
Sam and Grace Oliverio.

It is a collage of their off-
spring: Linda, Paul and Judith.

The one who appears the oldest
(and the most mysterious)
is actually the opposite.

The infant in the two left-side photographs
is beaming with pride and joy because
at the time those pictures were taken
Sam and Grace had only one child.


That year was 1948.

I was born the following year and the picture of me 
on the beach was taken in 1968.

As for my younger sister: her family had a summer rental
on the coast of North Carolina. 

I believe the year was 1990.

She was born in 1955.

That Judith is alive and well is no mystery.

We talked last week and, in July, I had visited 
two of her daughters in Baltimore.

Two daughters and Judith's brand new grandson!

Were our older sister still alive, Linda's six-month old 
grand-nephew would already know his times table.

I know that to be true because Linda taught me*
the times table before I was old enough to crawl.

Not only is Judith's grandson crawling, 
he already knows how to dance
but only when Chubby Checker
is singing  The Twist.

As for the great-grandparents he never knew,
here is a picture of them, albeit undated:

Sam and Grace Oliverio
When their total age
was less than my current age! 


* In 1951, 
this is how Linda
spoonfed a toddler
the 20-times table:
"Twin-T, 4-T, 6-T, 8-T"

Whimsically, Linda Oliverio
shares  her next page 
with Franz Kafka.

It's Only Happened Since The 88 in 10536

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Were you ever somewhere when
all the air gets sucked out of the room
and you can't understand why,
especially because you and you alone
are in that room?

But all you have to do
is walk out of the room
and air is everywhere

[10536]

Yes I am a tree–
my partner and me

We dance so merrily

To the earth 
we are pinned

But we dance 
with the wind

We dance in the light
we dance in the dark

We break our best moves 
when we're stripped of bark 

They dance with rage
say those with foliage

They dance
they danch
with broken branch

Yes I am a tree–
my partner and me

We dance (or danch) our best
in the enchanted forest

SHE...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

SHE
will let the images be

AND
the next thing for me
is to convert her smile to wallpaper
then wallpaper my skull

in direct view of my third eye

 
I may never be lonely again!

I need to see this smile
More than I need to breath

I need this smile 
More than I need to eat

I need this smile
More than I need to exist

I need this smile
So that I will not
Fear tomorrow

Ever Get The Feeling?

Did you ever get the feeling that the world
was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?
