The undefinable Something
Just bought a new
Cell phone
And that is something
Far away
From the necessary
Purchase
And then there are drinks
With strangers
Who melt into
Your mother and your brother’s
Face
Under the mist of alcohol
And then
Melt away
Entirely
When the barroom lights
Get dimmed.
Like Dylan once sang
Lo and behold
Lo and behold
Looking’ for my
Lo and behold
Get me outta here
My dear man
The empty spaces between
All the
Franchised places
…
