it appears im channeling archie the cockroach this evening
it thaws
the air touches my face without its claws
now that i can step outside without gritting my teeth
and my mind
i can think out of doors again
and the people are more
than shadows again
and the shadows are places again
little worlds are everywhere
and i want to go sightseeing
lets walk streets of trees
and step over thresholds of other peoples lawns
lets hide beneath their shrubberies
and make love behind their garages
lets be close enough to touch the amber bubbles around their lives
and then not touch them
we can keep our coats on
