ENDING PATRIARCHY FROM MIDFIELD OR HALF-COURT OR ANYWHERE

I want to write a book
below the hearts of men –
to infiltrate the gut
like ink – and then sink

toward what I can remember – there –
to set it up

like a field goal kick 

*

or shooting bricks all day
that now and then a poem makes

with tender care in memory
that might tend & spread
& mean a different thing of them

and us of who I am

*

that is to say, I love my friends
