PAGE 263
Any book with a lot of pages
Has a page 263.
Check it out.
Was it carved out? Was it rushed?
Or was it like ten thousand conversations?
I’ve had – forever lost
in the wind –
of words. Oops! I still have it.
It’s written down. It’s in a book.
Check out – look at page 263.

MOSQUITO
Mosquito ….
I was about to chase you down-
and kill you – and that would be that –
and I would continue doing my nothings ….
But no, I decided to get my window open
and my screen up and watch you fly out
Into the world – with my blood in your belly.
Hope you remember me – and I hope
next time, you land on a race horse –
or a fox or a giraffe or a gorilla.
Any of those would certainly be
be a lot more interesting
than just me in your belly.
Me ….

WARNING
There were a lot of warnings
in the air – but I wasn’t looking
for or at them: breathing problems -
wrinkled skin – a fat belly –
a train whistle – there were
no lights on this street – and
I had to get to the end of it -
and it was night – right now.
So do I do the usual or do I
put one foot in front of the other
and start some serious walking -
looking over my shoulder, of course,
