I'm imagining specially designed wedding rice engraved with names. I'm imagining floral print curtains lit from the other side, where pretty, naked things are forever going on behind. I'm imagining rescuing a strange wife from drowning of a winter beach crowded with snowmen, my clumsy heart stopping as the manuscript for this movie explodes across the waves and sand like a cloud suddenly shattered by the cold. I'm imagining Mick Jagger or Bon Jovi just as they are, but not famous. What an exaggeration that would be. What a low. It's all in the retakes you know.
Today I am spinning a david Berman line on my tongue:
"If you have ever confused the thermostat
for a knob with which to focus the windows,
then you know what I'm talking about."
