Bowl of Light - The Argotist Online

when
When women get together
they talk about bags of lobster and shrimp that
smell like body parts
what parts I won't say
I think you know
When women laugh
sometimes the cover their mouths
and sometimes they don't
but somehow it's decent
even when what made them
laugh isn't
When women descend into madness
they make men look sane
staring as we do
continually into rearview mirrors
and shaving mirrors
anything that can show the fleeting past
anything that streams and
overflows with time.
