red notes from the canopy.A Poem by h d e rushin
My wish is that Michael Jackson was still alive so we could, sitting in a warm place, compare our skins. So I would know finally, conclusively, that it was the sun making me darker, not the Natunola making me lighter. I love the ape face of Chimpanzee's and I heard he had one(in 83) Bubbles which was a curious name for a chimp, but was kept diapered up, was fed Similac, slept in a crib at the Neverland compound, ate candy, used the toilet and later attempted suicide.
Perhaps he heard that when chimps get older they grow incresingly recalcitrant, pull of the faces and penis's of strangers just for detecting hostile, fixed eyes. Oh s**t, we don't want that to happen since I need both of those to go forward. But those who intimate death also intimate saluatations, that thing that comes immediately before the body of a dear-John letter. I would guess, no different that those young poets who write so eloquently about strange things that visit their rooms, then fondle them in the night.
Every evening that you wipe away your makeup is a sort of death march. First foundation, then eyeshadow, then lipstick is the order that the undertaker takes. There are men who want a womens shape so badly they have their hips and breast injected with an industrial silicone, learn to talk with a high voice. Fain compassion. And they all end up in some emergency room or psychiatric clinic, because it's altogether fair and lovely to compare. I bought a sarong from the consignment store as if Detroit was the Malay Archiplago but didn't know what else to do but adopt a peaceful mantra.
