” they know each other but who /
…………………………………drinks / from a mirage”
—Sonia Bueno
_____________________________
it sometimes seems like that
love hallucinations less so now than then
coast road new day to SF from LA,
lit-sea left blue billiard table of photons
sequined, undulant, carom off bumpers
stiletto horizon running its blade south to north far
far off we swing through bends
surf asphalt swells top down
and slow/soon or quick hard to say
in breeze-driven mist we
in trough between hills unsure
eventually capitulate to inevitability
instantly in slomo hard to say
substance morphs into mirage
as substantive as gist
