Cheshire Blues
What the modern man wants is the grin
without the cat, the sensation without the
boredom of its conveyance. Paul Valéry
The sea without the shelf
the hat without the head
the music with no instruments
we already have that
the lovers without heartbreak
we already have that
the kiss without lips
her voice without a body
we already have that
the stops before a destination
the journey after reaching it
the white before the page
that's pretty difficult
the hot days without the sun
we already have that
conveyance without satisfaction
the grin without the cat
I'd like to see that
just once.
