poem for January 4 the lemniscate
1, 2, 3, 4, 5............Pn I met a mountain lion
at the gateway to the west where a third of infinity
twisted along a casino river We didn't talk
we couldn't be quiet He smoked a cigarette
gave me guru answers a sized and sanctioned
escape route I didn't know
it ventilated in a fire-wind path
where cats could wander make a crumb-filled den
talk rescue policies Beware the spiritual
I traced in his fur beware the ordinary
We left an offering of irrational numbers
hand-lettered plans cashews and apricots
messages arched and silver
