if you lose rhythm
look for it
its behind the hangovers
behind the never-was
behind the to-do list of not-right-now
thats long as all your arms
and be careful where your eyes slide
find a gentle shrub
with a bird on
with no appointments looming
no doorbell to blast
or little beetles
busy on the impossible leaves
ignorant of panama
and the tabloid scream
so careful where your eyes slide
into that glass universe
of endless dark materials
you
can
be
shaken shook smashed
like by finding out for example
just for example
that
Home Alone was released
closer to the Moon Landing
than to today
and youd throw up
in your mouth a little
and
think
but wait !
thats the rhythm
right there
in the acid shock
of the
mortal calendar
and again youre the bungalow man
in bungalow land
you dont know where the bungalow ends
and
the
man
began
and ok
you think
ok
thats pissed me off enough
that i can do another day
