THE SWEETEST SOUND
OF ALAN BERLINER

 

OF ALAN B

 
on stage riffing
for fifty minutes.

 
As excuses to ask
lives fill in the crowd scenes.
All said okay.
Names:  what kind of contract did I have

 
being both the source and arbiter?
 

OF ALAN B

 
Of making films
of:  editing is

 
always
alive, never more alert, never more articulate
aware
than when

 
became a kind.
