I wrestled
With your ambitions
This morning
Coffers of diversion
Unsent letters
Oceans of unshed tears
Spirited away
By imagination
2
You are the fetish
That incites
Even the most
Hapless stars
To bend
A curiosity
Perpetually
Devising
3
From every room
You’ve driven out
The corners
In broad daylight
I crawl leprous
Over the walls
Into
The engorged cavities
Your capacious muse
Sires
*
Your genius
Spins
The most
Compelling webs
Possibilities
Consuming
Our apartment
A nanoliter
At a time

I live with a genius as you know. Geniuses are curious lot. Our apartment is very small but alas the genius cannot put away his tools lest he be unprepared or discouraged when inspiration strikes. My genius has many hobbies: sewing, painting, writing, computers, wood-working, mechanics and electronics, cooking, mathematics (he invented another form of Geometry), and on and on. Sadly I am not very good at organizing!
