where we are now
I couldn't tell you
anyway not in words
\
paint with light my mother said
alone
and disappeared
into infinitude of angels.
where we are now
in which summer
it's confused like a dream
when you recognize the scene
emotionally speaking
but couldn't say
the longitude or latitude
or if there is a bus
that stops at the corner.
in dream neighborhoods
its the country of the vague
is that where we are now
my seconding soul rings out
in a room of crystal
but there's no crowd to answer
there's no one left at all
when the scene stealers bear it away
and get on
with the next show.
