shading

my dear wife
I can see her pressure gauges
bolt upright
when she attempts to dissect
my daily tablatures

'no fleecing the goose'
is her decree
she doesnt know that my architecture
lives only on the blueprint
she tinkers in my fairytales
with a mallet
but they are shaped
from thin air
there is none of the animated intimacy
that she suspects
so vividly pictured
in her mind

just words
transcribed for the senses
in the bowels of sewers
I no longer navigate
in the flesh

just so you know
