Looking Up the Hill - Love to Make You Stand Back

Vacations are a good time to rediscover play. The poems begin with the beginning of a short vacation. New environments, new people, new experiences, newness that shakes the poet into playfulness. Poems that were made for the Mondrian within. Returning to work is a good time to remember loss. The poems continue with a new year of work ahead. Same workspace, same people, same experiences, sameness that wakes the poet into betray-fulness. Poems that were made for the Flâneur within. Illness is a good time to entertain delirium. The poems are interspersed with the onset of fever. Disturbed billets, unfamiliar faces, unexplainable experiences, undressed-ness that flakes the poet into extraneousness. Poems that were made for the Patient within.
