TREVOR REEVES

For the Dovetailing



        ( for artists obsessed with "The Method")

        dovetailing is not a matter
        of stars colliding, personally,

        expressing the angles of
        a new moon to the horizon,
        that might involve kerning,
        perseverence, and the right

        cat-finger on the mouse.
        Or it might involve an outraging
        belief in the never-lasting. These
        are your choices.

        No buy-back guarantees
        while your glasses steam up
        seeking the right pit
        to swagger into.
