Jake's Flea Market

it never comes out the way it went in


no an old man’s cold love

no an old man’s cold love
written to warm the furrow of a fertile maid

it always fails

it’s undesired

instead let me write
what ophelia read from hamlet’s letter write
doubt that the stars are fires
doubt that the sun moves
doubt the truth claiming liars
but never doubt that i love


young hamlet had a talent to speak rhymes

i am aged
too cold to write a younger man’s heat
