In Search of the Present
for S.F.

my black dick, up in her whiteness
would make her more real,
would certainly be a present

one which Octavio Paz
in his Nobel Laureate address
suggests it’s necessary
to seek out, to search for

how very different our presents are,
our time zones,
our Christmas trees
