Each man must realize
that it can all disappear
very quickly:
the cat,
the woman,
the job,
the front tire,
the bed,
the walls,
the room;
all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations
of sand - and any
given cause,
no matter
how unrelated:
the death of a boy
in Hong Kong
or a
blizzard in Omaha...
can serve
as your undoing.
all your chinaware
crashing
to the kitchen floor,
your girl will enter
and you'll be standing,
drunk, in the center
of it
and she'll ask:
my god,
what's the matter?
and you'll answer:
I don't know,
I don't know ...
