diffused comrades (2)

they borrowed your trust; they borrowed your love. they borrowed your enthusiasm and your wistfulness. they borrowed your rice, your millet, your hops. they borrowed the keys to your allis-chalmers riding mower. they borrowed the idea of seventeenth century france. they borrowed the horizon, the sky, the earth. they borrowed your van halen compilation. they borrowed today and tomorrow. they borrowed elements with atomic numbers twenty through thirty-nine, inclusive. they borrowed jodorowsky and did not bring him back. they borrowed your nagging sense of unease. they borrowed certain styles of facial hair and did not leave a note. they borrowed a man, a plan, a canal, a xylophone, enoh, polyxal, anaca, nalpanam, a. they borrowed a wry thought. they borrowed your o.e.d. and did not suggest when it might be returned. they borrowed a smell. they borrowed william howard taft and the crushed horse he rode in on. they borrowed 4.30 in the afternoon. now send them a bill.

diffused comrades (1)

these — our friends; our familiars; our betters — have gone forth, are the windborne seeds of our ideas, our passions; they are the pollen of our lives. we are diminished by their distance, but the world is enriched through their diaspora. so seek them; you will recognize them; and then ask for that five dollars back.
