"I fought tonight. It felt great. I am frightened of never doing that again and being paralyzed and dying but I’m getting closer to being okay with it. It is weird no matter how much I think about it. Anyway, there are a lot of people who are with me. That’s pretty cool. So this is for all of you. Thanks everyone."

Doug wrote this today and I think it's quite beautiful
A Poets Guide to Poetry (with apologies to Mary Kinzie)
It starts with a desire
to become lost
in the thick impasto
of a painting.
You slump in the grey
of the cleaners
while the socks tumble
dry, waiting.
Fingers hunger over
pen points
and the mind sighs
onto a line,
wanting to lean on
window seats
while a chin wrestles
into the knob
of a palm. Words sweep
over cities
but drop to the old
curb smudged
with flat dead pieces
of blacked gum:
These are the metaphors
that aren’t
yours—a house bleeds,
children turn
into birds, the radiator
chants and—yet
a buzzer screams
and the brain
remembers the spin
cycle of ideas
behind the glass,
the change
left on the counter.
You return.
Then, a flutter
of hands,
a shout, the foam
dribbles
in the corner
of a mouth,
You pat your jeans,
recalling
the final line! Vessels
pulse close
to skin, breaths become
big stones,
You quicken, you bend
forward
You write that word
and then
you poke through
a hole
at the bottom of your
pocket.
"The next three weeks of my life
Will be completely
Insane.I might not see much of you guys.
Thanks everyone for listening. I’ll be back soon.
