                                    After The Reading.
                                      by Will Dockery


  Of the fortold flood this year's fall,
  plush lush I still manage to blush,
  this would be accurate if only it made some sense.
  Plush lush the fog is so dense,
  overloaded by the cruel humor of coincidence.
  Seaweed fox,
  tick tock tick tock
  Art, heart, apart, art,
  the contents of your candy box.
  It's not like in some faded film,
  the endless kiss that is not mine,
  as I see bliss it is not like this.
  Pass through her door this,
  why do I adore this,
  why do you abhor this?

  This that is falling apart, my heart,
  chased a little bit by this lack of art,
  crumbles down like the blue sky,
  I stand and watch but don't know why.
  It's a reply --- poetical,
  coming down dark ironic satirical.
  Coming down like pink and blue,
  she plays pool and so do you.
  Try to fuzz and create the words,
  rolling rhyme and melody to be heard,
  in this wild heart, meet the Shadowman,
  strike and stalk like a true fan.
  To make a sign moon someone else tries,
  the salty stain of a tear that dries.
  Have no use for these word lies,
  this mythology I despise.

  -Will Dockery 1998
