We don't belong to each other. We belong together. Some poems belong together to prove the intentionality of subatomic particles. Some poems eat with scissors. Some poems are like kissing a porcupine. God, by the way, is disappointed in some of your recent choices. Some poems swoop. When she said my eyes were definitely blue, I said, How can you see that in the dark? How can you not? she said, and that was like some poems. Some poems are blinded three times. Some poems go like death before dishonor. Some poems go like the time she brought cherries to the movies; later a heedless picnic in her bed. Never revered I crumbs so highly. Some poems have perfect posture, as if hanging by filaments from the sky. Those poems walk like dancers, noiselessly. All poems are love poems. Some poems are better off dead. Right now I want something I don't believe in.

I donno who is James Galvin, my pseudo name at Satyam was Calvin Banks and most users from Florida would say Galvin, so must be an American poet/writer from the south coast ha? I really like the last line;
“Right now I want something I don’t believe in.”
How you been, me have not much to update…..[text deleted by the blogger]

so Calvin Banks how are you?
yes, that ‘right now I want something I do not believe in’ is my favourite line too, but I love the poem as a whole…I felt I was being twirled around by this poem, happy twirls, tickling somersaults & cartwheeling
