Heart Y paddle America

Heart Y paddle America

you can figure the world maximally

or minimally.

maximally is above the clouds, offending God like Babel and you

know everything by aircraft zoom lens or you

know nothing from lack of details

minimally is following a swirling steadicam shot through

the undergrowth, minimally is you holding jack’s

hand while he offers jill- taste and see that the world is

absolutely delicious.

between, and you do have a choice, microscope, binoculars,

and many

divorceable kaleidoscopes,

which one shows jill’s stretch marks in proportion

and which one translates them into purple jeweled, fingernail

scratched calligraphy?

is there any contest? she has lice under microscope,

calcium deposits in the headlight

whites of her eyes, but notice

that rightly equipped

those spider veins in the flare of her

nostrils look like the fourth of July grand finale

you saw on the Oregon coast when you

were only seventeen.
