Here, meaning “nowwwww,” he’s “smitten w/the idea” for the poem he’s about to write, only things get in the way: “the heart goes blue,” there is a “disease” to “scorch away” first, then rhyme (“beat,” “cheat,” “heat”)and word play (“knees,” “bees knees”) take over, leading down to “feet,” “nails,” “soles,” “heel,” “footprints;” finally, after shedding clothes of pretense(“the gown is off the mannequin,” “burned our clothes still on”) “tumbled across the living room floor (“terra nova”),” which he’d “like to think was sunken like my heart is now,” there missing “the good ole days” when poems came easily and truly to mind.
