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

Sequence for ailing and repetitious
No need for spoil, you are not made unclean by me -
I have not yet, and needs must not for everyone's sake,
returned to hustling;
I can only imagine how nauseating
is such necessity
to all for whose towers even gargoyling is no luxury-
---
I prefer burning stock
if I have to be in New York
never setting still
burgeoning sun or letting
you get to me
never knowing if I'm known-
---
I tell you this heart to heart
the best part of living is falling apart
---
Lover, love is an awful thing
if you wish it had never been
we might as well take the dive
before tomorrow passes by-you'll never know
I'll never feel: fantasy we wished
forged to real/coerced confession prance
regrets not worth remembering-
the whole is dank as an oil spill
lips' pitch blood as ink, so far gone
for good, forth steal
---
No need to wretch, straining towards revolver;
yu are not made unclean by this kiss, understanding, or dismissing:
I have not once-and needs must not for all man's weal-
woken to hustle of day, signified might; I can only imagine
how nauseating is such discrepancy
to those for whom going hungry is just another luxury-
