things don't fit together
so well
magnetism decreases
swans lift like water
but generate no electricity
come home
& put on nick drake
shower then remove the cassette
eat a bowl of cheerios
against her gravity
wait for blood
to thin bad rain

I particularly like the beginning of this poem and the swans.....
Simply brilliant.
I agree about the swans, and I particularly love the ending.
HI Anna, interesting how the same poem can impress people differently...
Interesting pictures painted with words, an especially vivid image of swans lifting like water...
Juliet - it is.
