Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

Ah youth

That I say yours
when I try you
I mean my
beaming not intent
to imply possession
of any sort, except
that I feel because
I hear what you're saying
you blast onto my face
mannerisms and twitches
undermining poverty of shyness
bely pointing satisfaction
impenetrably viaducted
from urethra straight into wholly soul
skinless gargantuan faculty
driven downwind/needing
not upkept, ejaculation metabolic
in sacrum from peat/
when your kiss evades
I might wish in gravity
you stumble: a want to save
something worth the effort
and deserving, impossible to hold
for from my baby
cradle come the rocking
