Five Years before the Second Millennium

The TV is on and I can't concentrate.

Very fun and flirty, daisies are back in this year.

"Leaving your someone special for someone else

and haven't told them about it? Wouldn't you like

to let them know on the Richard Bey show?"

If you have a body like that you can get away with it,

if you have a body like that you can do anything

that these years of plenitude offer, and so

someone tells me that her boyfriend fucked

a twenty-dollar whore and caught a disease,

she doesn't say which one,

some things are just too private.

Every word has a shadow,

what you thought it meant before

this moment is a shadow of an

object that no longer exists

a wet towel on the bedsheet

a heartbeat charged with

no special significance.
