on walden pond

or some such mis-
matched poem mem-
or-
y
from a po-
etry class
or another
the sound
of bird
poems -
u see a
theme he
said w/a
smile, a
knowing l-
ook a b-
ook now i
miss what i
had and wonder
if infiltrating
corporate america
was what i was meant
to do - do i remember
why i'm there? that in-
deed i am a word-man?

why let it get to me?
so they demote me?
so maybe i need
a kick in the
pants to get
this book
out of
me i
am
tired.

rest, recuperate,
slow - study -
capture as in a
camer(ic)a click
(c) america (c)lique
so many ways to take
it spending days let-
ting
sing
song
word
poem
fall
drip
down
sewn
into
the fabric of reality -
courderoy swish sounds
the poem! get it down -
that feeling you felt
when he looked across
his desk, surely you
can capture it.

in the new poetry and
possibly even the original
poetry (OP) or the OPP (other
people's poetry) - the poet talk
-ing to himself, and time fails
to recognize any semblance of
any other realities. knock on
the door and time oh time time
time stopping on a dime for min-
utes moments aplenty - stop.
