THE ART / THE VEIL
by David Meltzer

so sheer between what's right
and will be wronged
let's say the Taiwanese couple
on stage tonight in their launderette
washing and drying clothing
watched by two teenagers
in a non-descript Duster
windows fogged over with
potsmoke, fear and talk
with one gun between them
and an idea to rob
not for money
but to knife that veil
between them
and the good life...............

[and the poem continues, fragmatically (a fusion of fragment and pragmatic) weaving a distillation of this guys inner
gut toward his livelihood and where it is applied---
don't read the bottom of the page until you scan the
thoughts processed -- the guy writes well, some are gems.]

thing.net

It isn't fame or failure
just so many books to read
so many words to write
and the backyard garden is
Paradise. I could spend
all day naming things and all night
breaking promises
