she works

she works
on the production line
in a wheelchair factory,
dreaming of Proust
and Ginsberg
and what would happen
if Heathcliff
were to really
enter her life.
she keeps a web log
thats so wonderfully
inflamed
that her co-workers
heads would explode
if they ever read it.
shes capable of discussing
Ezra Pound and maple syrup,
door handles,
Jim Morrison,
Jim Beam
and Johnny Walker.
shes studied Michaelangelo,
read La Belle Dame Sans Merci
and can tell you the real reason
why Rimbaud
took that shot in the leg
from Verlaine.
shes razor sharp,
read The Razors Edge
and knows that
me too
is pretty much the same
as why not?
she
dreamed of college once,
and more
but life
got in the way.
and now
she works the line,
dancing
on broken candles.
happy
to be the one
who knows the sound
that one hand
clapping
makes.
