you came to me unexpectedly
unassembled and undressed
I had to put together all your parts:
retro stylewood arms
adjustable and flexible stem
chrome head base
and three screws
for convenient positioning
to read my books
from every possible angle
and in the right direction –
future, as I hope to learn
how to finally tackle the monster
my words must come to light
I want my readers to feel what it’s like
be influenced by
Holme Angled Miss Chrome Queen
champion lady
the one who intends to give orders to me
now
as she’s shiny, slender, slinky, like a comet
and runs as fast as a ray of light
so was my writing
before I lost the main track
been wrong so many times
so many stories off the main road
but there is still the brightest light
inside my burned-out guts
symbolised by my new friend
welcome home, I think you will stay
here with me for good
if I ever happen to lose it again
just tell me, give me a sign
and we’ll make it alright
together
best homosexual marriage
I don’t mind, only if you get up steam
like a ship engine
you a kettle and I a frozen glass
and our unison will give us both wings
to endure the worst possible nightmares
from which I always have to come back to write
whatever my heart and head desire
weaving this thread like a mistress
of the only muse I adore
indiscriminately
indelibly
indubitably
indefinitely
independently
indeed
