You stroll … into some version of the present.
- John Koethe
You audition for the part of Iago
thinking this would be a great way
to spend the summer -
a summer of unrequited doubles
only with a deeper resonance
a summer traversing the seven levels
the early-birds-getting-the-worms
sitting up on all four-wheelers
and taking notice - a shot in the arm
revitalizing your steps following
the dotted line to that little hideaway
where under the covers
or rather under cover of darkness
you explore the outer reaches of Pilates
loosening the Cartesian duality:
I thank therefore I am.
The unaccustomed glance of interested parties
the simplicity of elusive gestures
await your entrance in Scene Two
leading you away and astray
a garden of unearthly delights
a pay-as-you-go travelogue into now.
