Who am I?  I'm a poet.  What do I do?  I write.  How do I live?  I live.

          Vertigo

  wind blows
  branches break
  blackbirds fall
  into jaws of cats
  blue light
  at ground zero
  time and space
  collapse
  apples once
  the blush of dawn
  rot on sidewalk carts
  black hats roll
  like ocean swell
  by a hasid
  funeral house
  wind blows
  branches break
  blackbirds fall
  into jaws of cats
         The Stones

  i put on the stones
  i like the stones
  i sit in the kitchen
  and listen to the stones

  maybe later
  i'll put on mellenkamp
  and write a poem
  that begins

                       the sun
                       was an ember
                       the wind
                       played the trees
                       like a flute

  but now i'm tired
  fighting sleep
  waiting for the coffee
  to boil
  i've been up all night
  wandering history
  mostly my own
