Aug. 18: as the title says, '97

August 9, 1945
Nagasaki is made
an example of
August 9, 1997
My VB Day.
I've heard
"beware false starts"
I'm more fearful of
false endings.

untitled scrawl: august '97

To love
I give nothing but love
but love flutters
in and out of the
flypaper that
is my tongue
my stem
my gluteal cleft
my tedious left

I think we need
a bigger soul.
(ugh.)
