Something about the air of absence,
its titillation and gravity.
Ghosts are highly seductive when revealing their apparent lack.
Beck sang about gravity shackles going wild.
Genius is childhood endowed with virile maturity.
Baudelaire said that. Or something to that effect.
Everything is, in its truest essence, something to that effect,
or a P.S. turning the page
to become the header
in someone else’s text.
