Stream

Different steps containing different rhythms, patterns, walking
past towards the door, the lounge, quiet, peaceful
zigzagging brick wall blocking off the dining room,
staggered, stuck, serpentine, puzzling, peppered,
discipline and punish, rules, rulers, measuring degrees,
minuscule amounts of mischief, grabbed my toque, my
shades to view a portrait given historically, aurically,
manufactured, mutated, the gift, the genius, transcending
and remodelling trends within trends within trends, the
waves pick up and subside, cut through,
ebb and flow, go with it, see an oyster,
a dam, the mollusk, they made part 12, can't remember
the original's director, doesn't matter, the Bel Air, Chateau
Frontenac, stretching across the divide, smells like a hand
clasped in mine with a faint whisper lodged in a
definitive epithet uttered while a horse-drawn
carriage pulls up blocking the cold, bins full of
fire and wood burning, getting ready to cater, 7 films for 5
nights, liked B______ and a styrofoam cup,
filled, emptied, replenished, what a soundtrack, Tegan and
Sara, bin full of videocassettes, antique collection, found
Beetlejuice the cartoon, stared out through the bay windows
at the flower beds and the trees.
