poems the girl opines 1 comment kitchen july 19 2020 by musepalace a norman mailer cento andy you wanted something very white and formica something clean sterile you didn t want a plot just a situation among situations you wanted a centerpiece a pale albatross human sacrifice long legs in black tights ready to implode andy in a hundred years they will look at me see that incredibly cramped little set that tiny apartment that kitchen maybe it was eight feet wide or six photographed from a middle distance in a long low medium shot it looked even narrower nothing but the kitchen table the refrigerator the stove the male actors and me the refrigerator hummed and droned on the soundtrack i had a dreadful cold one of those colds you get spending the long winter in a cold water flat my voice dull it bounced off the enamel and plastic surfaces i was a horror to watch it was every boring dead day anyone has ever had in the city a time when everything wreaks of the odor of damp washcloths and old drains yes that is the way it was in the late fifties early sixties in america that s why they had the war in vietnam that s why the rivers became polluted that s why the horror came down that s why the plague was on its way andy i live my part too only i can t figure out what my part is in this movie posted in uncategorized leave a comment cottonwood june 5 2020 by musepalace late may early june it happens every year the cottonwood drifts down white fluff rains from the sky in the clear blue day settling along curbsides floating outside my window white heaps at the edge of the lawn god blows a kiss from his giant dandelions last year the children ate end of year barbeque and danced across chapel green at breck school dancing with the cottonwood swirling to the beatles played by the teacher band we drank cold lemonade ate oatmeal cookies now the whole world showers white and now we stay home afraid and wearing masks summer came quickly as it always does in minneapolis it is 90 degrees the air is thick and heavy a knee pressed on my neck i cannot breathe you cottonwood tree your irony is not lost on me you white fluff raining from the sky tragic beauty you are all i know you the white baggage piled high at my curb posted in poems leave a comment pandemic pizza may 20 2020 by musepalace you sterile cardboard carton presented to me with gloved hands or worse left on the bottom concrete step of my front porch what wonders of mozzarella cheese and meat await inside for the third time this week i imagine you are mussels and linguine lobster or scallops delicate and served with butter sauce and warm bread on real dishes not paper plates the server pours cold pinot grigio we do not recoil from the diners nearby you sterile cardboard carton there is a 50 coupon taped to your top for my next order posted in uncategorized leave a comment once i dated a lifeguard may 19 2020 by musepalace for andy in my mind you still wear a starched pink oxford and crisp khakis you drive a corvette with a vanity plate your initials asl you had a second car late model brown sedan what kind of 19 year old has two cars i am not allowed to brush my hair in that corvette or to eat the ice cream cone you bought me at the dairy queen vanilla dipped in chocolate yes you were a bit of an idiot you admitted it yes i was worried about the sticky melt dripping down my hand i worried about everything back then in my mind we sit awkwardly at the movie while the roy rogers charity basket passes in synch with the preview on the screen happy trails you crazy kids it was a spielberg movie e t you held my hand and i died a little inside 17 year old me i ate buttery popcorn and drank icy orange soda licked the salt off my right hand while you squeezed the other in my mind we sit on the beach at cove island stamford connecticut you tanned muscle lifeguard man me shy irish girl in my brand new jantzen one piece turquoise blue covered the flaws only i saw small breasts wide eyes i was so out of my league you pass me a coke from the cooler cold delicious i stretch my legs out on the towel and relax pink frosted toenails burrow into the rough sand finally from that beach we could see darien the other side of the harbor the rich town it didn t look so different but it could have been a thousand miles away we didn t care thirty years later we exchange memories you hated parties you liked girls in mini skirts i thought i was a wallflower but you said i was pretty pretty me i flew into the full moon in the basket of a bike that night in 1982
