Sticky Issues | 2010
In the summer of 2010 I wrote a series of short poems which I compiled into a Visual Sketchbook. This is Entry #14
Some super-adhesive
substance
you are.
You can repair the most severe
cases of rips
cracks
and fractures;
bring two pieces
of wood, leather, or glass
with or without their approval
forcefully annexing them together
and yet
when my lover and I
seek your counsel
the best you can do
is bind our skin together
in such a cruel way
that if we ever did decide to part,
it would hurt.
