TV star asana
Her face is still beautiful
in that English way
even through lines of video.
In the 60s we sat round
the table edged with uneasy posture.
My father worked among
artifice and advertising.
These lunch guests were artist and star.
She was less stitched up than us
breathing that other life celebrity, creation.
They had money and cameras.
She made a joke
with the word penis.
That day I think the curtain was drawn
against the western sun
and traffic in the street.
My mother would have tried.
Are you experienced?
No answer only
our pale green plasterboard walls
my adolescent green Japanese radio
the frog in the pond at night
stars disappearing over the city
men leaving trash on the moon.
And I, still gazing through green haze
never thought about my breath or heartbeat.
OFate finds you no matter how farą
even through lines of video
starring the windy cliffs of change
lost prana.
