        21. about the author


      		optimism


      you smoke with yesterday,
      flirting with catch-22s
      in a crinkled cigarette haze,
      crumple up poetry
      etched with
      coffee-stain jaundice
      on off-white napkins
      and discard
      words
      like a
      cheap
      fuck.

      and I,
      rooted
      in a reckless requiem,
      share a drink with death,
      his jet-black trash bags
      thrown careless past
      a dusk beard
      like effervescent sand!
      what a stupid
      romantic thought
      for the
      future,
      but,
      fuck it,
      I grin regardless,
      sift my way through
      a casual mound of
      dim-lit ruin,
      unfold your schematics
      for a dying wish
      and commit it to memory.

      good.
      more shit to burn.
      tomorrow grunts through cold fingers
      and
      I
      laugh.
