Untitled by C.Zurzolo

Seated on the color purple
in contested terrain
Where untold delights await at inspiring prices.

This all strikes me as funny,
writing about, racism, hegemony and power structures
As I sip the brew of world domination

And in she strolls
my mirror, my image just 20 years from today
with the same stoutness of hips that I see creeping into my reflection.
Shared jokes with men half her age,
Lubricated conversations as she plans
Trips to the cottage after MTC tickets
With all afternoon to walk and talk
I want to ask her if she is happy.

To see the startled expression on her face
As she fields a call from her husband
Checking in

As I check out of my life
On a trip, for a moment
I luxuriate in my own sweat
“Where are you”
“I’m running away from home”

But
He deserves the rest (from the 50 hours of free time in his weekly schedule)
While in his meek confession of this I note
my time
Must be used with such efficiency
That circus music plays as I move
The balls floating in the air
By sheer force of will.

Try

what succumbs
under the
lithe muscles

what foretells
the lily-

the moon's

turns

finding

macro? micro?

anyone seen the macro-scopic creator of this work in its original un-photoshopped condition, tell him to get in touch w/ us. (hint: it used to be a vacuum.)

there he went...

...shuffling off into the ottawa summer predusk, ol' knack, who'd come all this way for really no reason other than to see us--eyes, fixed on the sidewalk ahead. Bent to it again. Gone.

--paraphrasing of some good ol' Kerouac

that was your little warning
as the earth spoke it
that's just part of the revolution
you said holding back
negotiating with him
wondering what was
bringing the attack
and he didn't like
the fact that the vacuum
became something else
