Howie Good

Real Cool

You can’t tell whether

we’re upside down or right side up,

you can’t tell what’s here,

a typo or gilt lettering on glass,

but those real cool sounds are coming,

like when we were young

and did it anytime, anywhere

(floor, office chair, shower),

only with a yes and incidental light.

Howie Good is hanging in the balance of the reality of man, like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
