The Moment My Own Nurse

The Moment My Own Nurse
Of course, she’d been drugged, but
“I just can’t believe it, I can’t
believe it,” she exclaimed even as
she breathed, and in the elevator,
took my face in both hands,
as I bent over
the gurney, and
‘oh” my name, she said, you know, saying
my name, and “oh” my name
so intensely that the nurse
teared up,
and it’s not that we
are in perfect synch or
synch,
though I did know how to calm her somehow
both pre- and post-op, playing just the right music into
her almost deaf ears, able too to sing
along–
still, it was a moment–my mother loving me–
no, my mother always
loves me–but my mother loving me
with her hands–
I can feel them yet, the flow of blood that turned
the cool palms pink, there
on my cheeks,
I can feel them
yet.

Opportunity Knocks
Hey, and people thought the corporate law of Delaware was so great.
It aint nothing like Delaware Antarctic!
Hell, your Delaware Antarctic company can do just about any old thing. We calls ‘em “limiteds” but that’s only as it relates to liability, am I right?
And you can keep all your profits on ice! Not a tax in sight! Not even capital gains!
‘Course we’re only dealing with short-term gains right now, the whole damn thing so… fresh, you know what I mean?
*********************
Diatribe of sorts for Brendan’s much more thoughtful prompt on Real Toads to write something stemming from planetary destruction. Picture is mine, charcoal, chalk and oil pastels on paper, 2017, all rights reserved.
Process note–Delaware is famous for the flexibility of its corporate law, making it a favorite jurisdiction in the U.S. and perhaps even the world for incorporation of companies. Also, historically, there have been different U.S. tax rates for short-term and long-term capital gains. Finally, of course, there’s that great big piece of ice now floating around.

Fragile Things
Civil rights,
a neck, a spine,

What I sometimes fail to notice in my moroseness

What I sometimes fail to notice in my moroseness
The corn
in the corner of your eye;
the joke that floats in that blue
trying to rescue me from mine;
the bird song not made by my phone–
actually I do listen to it–but which,
in the absence of the smiles that glisten
on your fingertips, often lures me
into loss;
the sauce that is your teasing
of my bemoan;
your seriousness that says, but we are here now.

Poem of sorts for the wonderful M’s “get listed” challenge on Real Toads. The drawing (kind of goofy) is mine also; all rights reserved.
