Second Casing

Face to face
With not so much peep show
No glory
Pipeline
Or tunnel vision
A natural moment
Ah-choo
Gobblessyou
Smile
Reciprocated or confirmed
With raised mouth corners
Back to application
Of daily solution

Robust portrayal
Of Sheba or Duchess
Perhaps a bloodlet Montague
Or a painted harlot for a Folger
Maybe a lost siren song of Neptune
Not the taking of Persephone
Nor the chewed cork of Chuck's hooker
Not an orchard of cherries nor a farmhouse of chipped cans
Deep consternation

All this occurring both in foreground and back
Both once and twice
And twice again
The mobius uncanny
Flipped over again on itself
Like segments of film
Or tapeworm
With places to tear -
- the not so good frames away
Those frames
Not looking good on either side
But not the same either

Never quite sure where it will go
Not knowing what happens after this
When walking down streets
And up stairs
Then hallways and doors
All that happening
Only once
Then interpreted
Dissolved
And readapted
For phone
Or Russian confidant
Face to face
With not much to say
