I was scalping Andre Breton
For money and intel
When I woke in an angry river
Clawing for dear life
On a limb
Called Obtuse
And I couldn't see it
It spoke to me
In a snapping of twigs
It said 'I have a family'
It said
'Eliot is Obtuse
And so are Irish Catholics
In their own way'
Obtuse paused, as if to rest
Then cracked a final phrase
'And never forget it
The mirage
is
Obtuse--
it hides
the sand'
I nodded wordless
Slackened grip
Back
Into the angry current
And melted
For money and intel
When I woke in an angry river
Clawing for dear life
On a limb
Called Obtuse
And I couldn't see it
It spoke to me
In a snapping of twigs
It said 'I have a family'
It said
'Eliot is Obtuse
And so are Irish Catholics
In their own way'
Obtuse paused, as if to rest
Then cracked a final phrase
'And never forget it
The mirage
is
Obtuse--
it hides
the sand'
I nodded wordless
Slackened grip
Back
Into the angry current
And melted
