Back Next For Tamar and Avi

I believed that
I would sit by
The typewriter
Forever and ever
But forces
Pull me by the ear
And dip me in reality
Which is never
Never
Like
What it is
I have imagined.
The blue colors
In my mind
Are not the blue
Out there.
Oh no,
The face I've put
On you
You have already
Outlived.

Irwin R. Shaw - 1983
