John Grey Two Places at Once A man can be where he is and where he is not. A magician is pulling a rabbit out of his hat while that same rabbit merrily munches a carrot in its cage, Traffic outside, every car home in its garage. Boy holding hands, with the freckled girl, with his GI Joe. I kiss you on the lips the same moment I kiss my grandmother on the cheek. People of the inner city, do you hear the wolf howl as I do? Creatures of the deep woods, sorry if the cries of starving children disturb you, A man is silent with himself while talking to his neighbors. He’s regretting what he’s done though he hasn’t done it yet. Today is at least one other day, maybe two. Tomorrow for example. And the day after. You can even throw in yesterday.
