Apparition Poem #1302



#1302

If you’re ever making love, and at
the moment of orgasm have a vision
of your mentor jumping from a high
window, don’t resort to watching TV
after, especially if you’ve just impregnated
your lover, the emptiness in your eyes
will be incomparable, enough to send
both your mentor & attendant angels
scattering away from your books,
because (remember!) you do write
books, you’re not just an animal
(the quagmire being, of course, that
in this world they do have animals
writing books, even if it is only these
days, & who ever pine for the feral phrase,
remain bemused that TV reaches more lays).
