how to be
in a holiday resort
where the Have is strolled
and swaggered and tattoo’d
catching glance like after-image
when the eyes are closed?
~O___,
why aren’t I writing? Well
I am
but I was expecting to see something else when I wrote
the flow of another holiday
rather than the
concordance
that I have still yet to discover
in my writing eyes wide
closed
,___O~
certainly
the sun and skin keep me
lapping without gain
and replaying the chorus from the ‘Nightfly’
unsure if I ever got the verse
___“O”—
but nevertheless
I still worry that I don’t write
as Plath and Salinger would lifefully so
I even know the answer
but I cannot sit at the moment,
I thought I had armour by the sea but it has
so quickly rusted
and I’m overweight and 54 thinking
of illness and waste

flow wormhole: happen//ing
Have wormhole: pass and / fro
holiday wormhole: holiday
identity wormhole: h’rk ‘eh ‘heh ‘hair ‘yeah ‘eh?
life wormhole: I turn to wake up
looking wormhole: Tara mantras
music wormhole: in the Java ‘n’ Jazz
passing wormhole: ‘someone …’
sea & sun & Sylvia Plath & waves & writing wormhole: jump start
sitting wormhole: woman / has worked in the gym / got a build
I see you there
on the other side
of 54….
And there–
right there–
you have it,
rusted, written and
lifefully lived,
liver and all,
beached on
this side
of 54…..

… does this mean I’m either side of 54 and … floating – I’m good with that; when I read the first line of your reply I thought you called me ‘baby’ and accused me of ‘shakin’ that ass’, and that would never do – I’m much too either side of 54 to be doing that

West of 54 these sentiments are alarmingly familiar, which is at odds with un-lifefully. enjoy your holiday, rust and all!
