JIM WRITES TO COUSIN EARL

– February 1, 2012Posted in: poetry

Dear Earl,

The talk we had between us is etched upon my brain. Conversing is like horse-shoes played while waiting for a train or time spent watching paint dry or visiting Algiers.

Anyway, the truth is, you tear me up with tears. But do not get me wrong, my friend, no, I blame you not at all. For if not you, the chances are that I would take a fall and wind up like the devil or Dr. Frankenstein, planning for the end of days and thinking, “Ain’t that fine?”

But you and I, we’ve been through that and know it isn’t true. Yes, we’re like a tenor solo that makes me think of you.

Your cousin,

Jim
