Seismic shift with top-spin

Whatever happened to the Brahmin that
explained the proverbs to me?
                                                name of Rimbaud?
The light remembers darkness
              remembering you I guess
& the 16 vestal virgins
                              I never doubted
                                                retracing the steps taken
brutally distracted, but never bored
              spilling a glass of water
                              on the bottom of the sea
it means         something         the
way the tide swept you up & the light
              & it makes you want to change your name
                              or the color of your hair
& out there you learn a different way to say it
                                                a different way to walk the walk
right off the end of the pier
on St. Tarzan’s Day
