Papa’s standing sort of bovine | |
In the shrine of his brother’s room, the priest | |
Recently deceased in this North Country heat | |
Lunch meat on the kitchen counter | |
Mary’s counting bug bites on a sunburned shoulder | |
I’m counting sacramental rites and old crucifixes | |
All my great-uncles’ nights of cocktail mixes | |
Are over | |
Then we encounter | |
Accidental modern radio hits | |
Spits his brother’s boom-box | |
From the room walks Papa and then sits | |
And then it’s | |
Time | |
Where the handicap tourist-trap putt-putt courses | |
And trailers patched with corrugated scrap metal and divorces | |
Stand | |
Well, I got a granduncle and he lives inland | |
Where the pure manure summer vapors get fanned | |
By electric fence whir and a wave of the hand | |
Of the Amish infants standing barefoot in the sand | |
While the gas-station kids hang out idle and bland | |
At the Subway | |
Well, him and Anne died down in some dim town | |
Where he built a swimming pool into the swampy farm ground | |
Where the accumulation of the dimming pounds down | |
Since the 70s | |
The pool | |
Has a cool blue aqua shade | |
Like the Gatorade that my dad likes to drink | |
Where you’ll peer into the pump-house, dear | |
Or the diving board where you laid on the brink | |
But please don’t freeze or fade | |
Like the bottles of booze | |
That snooze beneath the sink | |
And if my reasoning gets frayed | |
It’ll cauterize us tauter ties someday | |
I think | |
When the roofers jump in the seaway | |
At midday in their jean-shorts to cool down | |
We’ll go down to Morristown | |
And bask there in the decay | |
And ask where our summer glories drown | |
With the subtle carnage of the bloated rock bass | |
Sucking in the bright sky summer boat gas | |
Floating there | |
As we boated past | |
Slinking through the stony Thousand Islands | |
That go sinking in the water with the slickest absence of violence | |
But | |
In the musty attic loft | |
I knew your young sore ecstatic soft | |
Body | |
The waitress’ language was blaring out, “Can you | |
Bear the despair of the typos on the menu?” | |
I wheeled you through the field with the billboards | |
You wheeled the Ford to the sordid Price Chopper | |
Where every shopper was leaning in the struggle to stand | |
Like the green copper-stained gravestones that sink into the land | |
That night | |
Earthworms were squirming their way through my dark feel | |
Some sermons found permanence on ancient-burned reel-to-reel | |
If permanence is arbitrary | |
Who decides the summers where we will | |
Be forever? | |
I’d like to meet that thing | |
It’s a dimming thing |
