"jet-lag" 09/02


caf� table, main st., geneseo ny, college town

           
a woman loses her individuality
            if a man makes her excrete a certain hormone,


he says--post 3 yrs teaching & 2 yrs subbing
   in some elementary school--
now outside with his dog sipping coffee as
   saturday night begins for freshmen weekend.

but what the hell is he talking about?
    what brought that up?

with a casual hour of rap,
    i weigh his dumb philosophy against the weight
of anyone's heart laid on his lap.

            
what,� you didn't know?�
   
she with adam through out the summer
               sharing fruits
as i ran a small gift shop in manhattan's central park.

i register her honest grin against the weight
   of me helping my family eat,

and conceived      nine months
   til graduation.
[can you read "paratext"?
then disregard poem

& let's move fwd.]
