To Błażej Krukowski
i act surprised
when things
resemble each other
although they are
nothing alike
mind aside
mind apart i make
intelligent guessing
into an art
how much for the grand piano
how much for the divan diva
mme schlesinger lessing
how can i play doctor
or house if you have neither
a domicile nor a dick
how can a crocodile
open its mouth
stick to its story
with its sharp teeth
seek forgiveness
and act surprised
caught in the act
and shriek dolphinlike
red handed in the
dark in my eyes
i begin to resemble
myself things strung to each
other and other things
that have nothing
to do with anything
