I tremor at the thought
of writing a character
into being;
more control than parenthood
comes with this pen project
the passion the action the ends
I mean
what I say
I say mean
and means say
the mean has been
gleaned
That's what I mean,
the stanza above
I like my meanings
to escape inaudible
inarticulate
intangible
As I fungus into another day
of decay in the face of another sun
