notes from OBITS ETC.

But it's not like that for me; age is not simpler
Or less enjoyable, not dark, not whitewashed.

--thom gunn

each morning i gaze in the mirror

'wake up old man'

* * *

don't talk about sex to rich
                         he's like our dad

* * *

here's a place for you
        look at the photos
                  the texts between

how will you conduct your life
between now and then

hello michael! thank you for your generous liking. these are a nascent sequence about i think death, sex, text and desire. and aging. i hope to incorporate quotes and found texts with my own fragments. and take it as far as it will go.
