Book two of impromptu trilogy.

  Our Thrilling Life


Their demands were flung from a concrete terrace
in the contractual language of a lengthy dispute.

So, bored, you chose a voyage on an aqua sea
of the oddly pleasant things; then found yourself

left like an offer at their feet, bereft of an alibi
as they sipped cappuccino above the summer's fog.

On shore that night you drifted through recalcitrance
toward a wharf where the moon rose above a bonfire

and in a small space across the bay a light shone.
Nothing much was revealed by anyone sober or clean.

What could assemble itself in the passage of this life
was exacting and sporadic:  in a word, it felt good.
