You can’t know everything you want to know, about anyone. (Especially about me!) You can’t even know everything you want to know about Sharon, and I probably know more than you do. In fact, I’m sure I do. For instance, did you know about that guy

Some tough young punk with dreadlocks
Was walking down the sidewalk while texting

If you were a painter,
and I a poet,

about Picasso and Bukowski,

These people, what is it with them? Is this who we’ve become?
They left their great need behind when they were taken out of the country. They seem to live without thought of that blood. They do not respond to anything that calls to it. They seem sha

Bum on a Parisian stoop begging

Reminding him of a painting
