[Stanza 1]
Get out of my blood, salamander!
I can’t seem to blow off enough steam to get you out of my head
Soul cycle you to death, run you out of my blood to San Pedro
And yet, everywhere I go, it seems there you are,
And there I am
[Stanza 2]
I don’t want to sell my stories anymore, stop pushing me
Some stories aren’t meant to be sold
Some words aren’t meant to be told
[Stanza 3]
I want to leave them underneath the nightstand to be forgotten
or remembered should my thoughts come upon them in the middle of the
night after a long beach day
Or by you, some afternoon, to thumb through with your worn warm after-work hands
I love you, but you don’t understand me, I’m a real poet!
My life is my poetry, my love making is my legacy!
My thoughts are about nothing, and beautiful, and for free
[Stanza 4]
You see, the things that can’t be bought can’t be evaluated, and that makes
them beyond human reach
Untouchable, safe, otherworldy
Unable to be deciphered or metabolized
[Stanza 5]
Something metaphysical,
like a view of the sea on a summer day on the most perfect winding road
taken in from the car window
[Stanza 6]
A thing perfect, and ready to become a part of the texture of the fabric of
something more ethereal
[Stanza 7]
Like Mount Olympus, where Zeus sent Athena and the rest of the immortals to play
