May, 1998

Gentile/un-gentle-people

by Marie Kazalia 95/98

10 minutes to 6am
my thoughts as I try to drift
back to sleep
light & airy
weeeeeee---
molecules separate at the surface
float into the sky
ten after six
already voices in the hall
yawning doors opening and closing
blue-white light in my window--
I appreciate the courtesy I miss now
back When in Japan
not telephoning/disturbing anyone until 10AM exactly
