And Prove What In So Doing
by Philip F De Pinto
I lay my hand flat on the bedroom wall
Out of some old boredom or new adventure I suppose
And am almost tempted to draw its outline
With a fine pen or heavy marker or tongue
To stab between the peninsular fingers with
And prove what in so doing?
That I have little else to occupy myself with these days
When odes are scarce tempting me to rally them into a frail
Or noteworthy existence - or it may simply be the case
Of there being insufficient gravity in my bed to contain me there
Within its folds as would the weight of you a life or so ago
Press me flat against its surface
Out of some old boredom or new adventure I suppose
Tempting the chandelier above our lovemaking
To stab inner our coastlines with its soft acetylene
Pinning us down or cutting us out - north south east and west
And prove what in so doing?
