JASON DELPH

by WHERE ARE YOU - Aquarius

I was in "Toys R Us"
shopping for christmas
undecided on what to buy
for my six year old son 
who seems to have everything

I was in the third isle
pushing my cart
checking out the legos
and lincoln logs
when I heard chuckling

I turned around
observing 
two children holding
kaliedescopes to their eyes
turning and spinning 
the dial
amazed and in awe

and that's when I thought of you...

You wrote a poem 
several years ago
"Our Places"
you know where you said
"kaliedescope of goddammits and sonafabitches?"

It's funny how simple words 
or phrases like that 
can stick 
how they make you think of people
when you least expect it
and it's even funnier
when they don't even know it,
when they don't even know you exsist
when they don't even know that they
ever had and impact,
yeah it's crazy
real fucking crazy man...

Almost as crazy as the time
I cut eyes 
and ears
and chins
and mouths
and noses
out of random magazines
and mismatched them 
according to what I thought 
you looked like,
then masturbated.

Thanks man, I appreciate all you've done.
You have inspired me, touched me deeply
enough to purchase that god damn kaliedescope!
