Inventory

Four be the things I am wiser to know: Idleness, sorrow, a
friend, and a foe. Four be the things I'd been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.

Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content, and
sufficient champagne. Three be the things I shall have till I
die: Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.

~ Dorothy Parker ~

THE ODD COUPLE

spirit of the spirit, of the spirit of the mind
with reluctant bodies we play games
weaving bewildering lies
building bridges, walls, constructing facades
of what we represent.
i, you,
you, i,
with faithful intent we play, so onwards day
upon day, upon dayuponday, uponnight,
striving for precise honesty, our layered egos
peel and fall till we crouch, left
in primitive array, weaponless,
emphatic
this is me
and that is you.
but we're not over yet,
so we love, beyond the love,
beyondthelove,beyondthewords. we smile.
we chafe, we struggle, we recall we once felt more,
remembered more, and tasted more
in cartoon-colored fantasies. uneasy in the mind
we drift, while we live by what we live, by
whatweusedtomean.

still when the dark arrives, when winter comes,
we seek close comforts for the pain, and shelter from
connubial fears, ultimately different, but occasionally confined...
we merge,
...then wonder why.
