Just before I fell asleep
Two women I had seen on t.v. earlier
Had a fight on the backlit screen of my closed eyes
Tearing and ripping
Almost to the point of feathers flying
The light from the streetlamp pushing
Red and black bolts mashing and slashing
While a dog barked outside
Yipping yapping
at something from the yard
they were fighting about this:
we should not fight to show how smart we are
(from a day of me thinking: I can’t spend my life poured
over books and blank screens trying to prove some thing to some one
It must be a non thought.
But of course that is true
I must not think)
And one said yes
And one said no
the world is wide
and fits on a map on my wall
