He liked his instants<BR /> parceled out in reps and sets, and he was glad,<BR /> to dangle like an ape from an iron bar, admiring<BR /> his bicep bulge (amen): He worked hard<BR />              the slant board, the oblique<BR />                         twist, and his own form<BR /> waxed and polished, his house a bleached vault<BR /> where he lit votive candles to the clear<BR /> persistence of his little self though no one else<BR />                         showed up. He liked<BR />                         the slammed door, the map's red line, to stomp<BR /> a clutch, to clutch the black wheel, to wheel<BR /><DIV> away in steaming rage.</DIV><BR />                                  He was a preacher fond<BR /> of Revelation. His truth was slant,<BR /> his facts oblique. He sought a righteous girl, articulate,<BR />                         whose slang he could steal<BR />                         for his soporific sermons—<BR /> a girl all clean and bare in her nethers with mouth<BR /> of Cupid's bow—someone<BR /> to dress in white and hold<BR /><DIV>                         struggling under water, to warp</DIV><BR /> the iron of, till she melted. To her<BR /> he gave and gave. He gave all<BR /><DIV>                         the all he had, which wasn't much.</DIV><BR />-<A  href="http://www.blueflowerarts.com/mkarr.html">Mary Karr</A></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C07DFF9C-E49F-46F7-8041-85667FD8C589/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
