I. The Inundation Principle
An apple a day
means you think of apples
at least daily.
A letter a day
and I've stolen
a few more minutes of your life.
Like a torrential downpour
sooner or later, I hope,
it may soak in.
II. Logic A La R.D. Laing
I am a perfectionist.
I seek to touch perfection.
I've touched you.
You are not perfection.
Therefore, I have not touched perfection.
But I have touched you.
And I like that.
- first published in February 1980 in the Amaranthus
