semakin lama semakin susah menemuimu
di antara segala macam hiper-keisengan kota ini
bayangkan beratnya menahan godaan
memesan mozza whopper dan curly cries
bayangkan susahnya tidak mencari-cari kelucuan
pada baliho the kingdom dengan jennifer garner yang kelihatan seperti edward said
mmm-a-l is this too personal?
duluakuseringmelihatmudisepanjangjalancikiniraya
dengan pisau di pinggang dan frank o’hara
—lunch poems, edisi city lights
menyembul di kantong belakang celana khaki gombrongmu
kadang-kadang kau lemparkan pisau itu ke tengah jalan
dan ujungnya akan mencungkil sebongkah aspal
kadangkadangkadangkadangkadangkadangkal
-a kau coba paksakan membeli hotdog dan coklat malt
bersama hantu maïakovski dan segumpal awan di celana dalam

this poem could be about you
this p-p-p-

could be about
who
aku hanya bisa bergantung pada sekali-sekali
tersesat di sebuah restoran ye olde
di dalam ruangan famili yang kosong melompong
melihat ke pojok, dan:
kursi kayu tua berpunggung rotan
koyak-moyak
(seperti sebuah set film hantu
yang benar-benar dihantui
dan ditinggal (mati) semua kru)
kau meringkuk di atas kursi itu
mengambil ancang-ancang
menerkamku!
mmm-a-l
is this
too

oh not the old chair please. i since then haven't been able to 'eject the abject', 'throw out … that insolent thing across the border' and i'm now overridden by the horrific. somebody please restore the symbolic order.
hahahaha
btw, i think 'hiper-keisengan' and those references to jennifer garner and edward said are sheer brilliance. and somehow i can hear the safari?

she's excellent isn't she? we're gonna totally mess with people's minds! be prepared to talk business sometime nxt week. and some serious booze intake afterwards. hahah.
but this time i prefer looking at a plush sofa somewhere within the comfortable darkness of your common bar rather than a lonely rickety chair whispering “i'm here. i know you're there.”
