Garrulity is hard to demonstrate through short examples

like those slits in the top of the pie, what are they for?

lines of comic strip heat rise from sills

I give myself a gift
of a barbarian cookie
for my birthday.



After the seemings of
jest, a jute of joi
de vivre cough soup.



A Libertarian
convention, stones
lobbed in the lobbey
of pastel gloom.



The trees, an
aspect of cragomite
frame, a gloss.



An appetite of

in preparing for ritual castration, doing nothing, or touching nothing of their rhizomatic opposite . . . sitting on the edge of a chair, testicles tied off, staring into the body of path, chanting matta-matta-matta, or; om, om, om, told to run through a burning grass hut and pick one of two items . . . with no jurisprudence or direction, other then a small pamphlet written during Weimar germany, and a report in a popular science journal on rabbits, on neither A or B; hope is never more . . . your ardor is mixed into the sun, and the universe grants you aerial calm..





conditioned respite

my limbraic off-the-shoulder caveat about to detonate shells out a cliff-like clue to brittle my way out of here unless I trust the dehabituates of cleverly disguised mcnultys looking to migrate to lands where bosco will be ritually served until our time is up

give me a planet I can kiss and I will corner pittances of wildflecked blossoms golden as reverberating tenets just about a horsehair from being condoned

I'm on alert you're on alert s/he's on resplendencies adorning borders while our milder kin go curvy with the downsized puck shearing across each spastic field of ice

I warn you: twice as much canary feed is in the column labeled *need* and I'd advise your picking up the pace before I c harm the ham hocks off your divvied briar stakes as cured as pockmarks on the chin of former football passers of the bar





vanishing point

 
Ode to the intellect.

Thematic threads
a fondness fo the unrecognized genius
the links between
artists
Schrodinger's Cat
to those who died in poverty
the locations of death
total derision of critics
the glory of books
wit  (the Idiot)
if you are alone, you are wholly your own
the horror of war
a woman's body is all that modern man any longer possesses of nature
madness & the artist

Isolation.

in the works

 
In connection with
in the works
one feels tempted to criticize.

This Emperor so suddenly came
to full tide, the poem
belonged to the oldest tradition.

Occupied with one idea
to conclude
against all expectation
in the midst of this despair.

Friendship with Napoleon
called forth.

Once more
we find a true explanation.

 





a sack for future public taste

strange upon strange
upon moments
of strange

brief paused intervals
with other
gaudy, babbling remorseful
inevitables
more things apprehended
more or less
refugees to the next
fourteen excellent realisms

defenseless against salt
defenseless against
devolve of a season

that look of death

words that run dry
lost value called background

proof of another
paused intervention
another common
day and night
common to the weather and water





dissolves in water

the entire misread of
the word son
relates to the word sun
absent the word drought
absent the basement
absent the surprise
absent another
russian cosmonauts
reading empty fuel
as misleading
absent the word
absent all those
ridiculous trajectories
enigmatic under pinning
served cold
a revisitation of lazarus last probability


there for counting time
an encasement parody
reckless nights
molested underpinnings
refreshments with a feel
a human tradition
obvious in
it condition
obvious in how
it relates to ridiculous

rubbing fingers
forms everything
evolves to fusion
in the
gentle way of beheading


witnesses
the finitesimal
overwhelming chemical wonders
a relationship without purpose
that excepts nothing
absent the surprise
absent another
empty misleading
absent nothing






When Batman
spells out
"ASP-A-RAG-US"
And we in its hand for
the musician influence?
Are syllables,
synonymous with notational
reflux of barrage corp?
A war-on-crime is
being waged on
orange tube slides?

Is an Oreo a sandwich,
in the most technical
sense?

"To insert (one thing) tightly between two other things of differing character or quality."

Sounds like an Oreo to me.

"Furthermore, in reference
to your inquiries, the
committee has yet to determine,
through standard administrative
channels, what guidelines would
be in effect, in accordance with
established procedures, in the
event of non-completion of abovesaid
project."

Sounds like an Oreo to me.

from: obedience, 18-21

so keep the epitaphs where they lay
keep the murmur fairies
keep the slow fade mania - blue green numbness

feel the fibers
increase in average
on blank concrete

this is existence for
who else can

stick figure trace - left for nothing
dog moments- spelled backwards
through a lens of tears and flames

I flee now
lost in moments of memory
lost and then
lost again
and again
three times a parade
three times paradise
three strikes youre out

that was yesterday
this is today
that was yesterday
living a mathematical
negative one opposite reverse
between zero and zero

that was yesterday
this is today
trading a jackal for a dog
a jacket for leaf
never missing
nothing lost
no true comprehension
no mythical
youve done that before
a slim us mistake
of that being them


I wait by the sea
nothing happens

I wait by the sea
nothing happens

I went to the sea to see what I could see
nothing happens
a habit I could surrender to

never leaks or something time left behind

I wait by the sea
nothing happens


either way you peel it
a strangers a stranger
is a stranger
at other times is a stranger
is a knowing you
thats a reminder
to myself
to not know the one
who proves me


I wait by the sea nothing happens
someone turns towards paradise
exhausted
with either better or worse
real or wrong
a twentieth floor ticket to jump
and or
a parrot
witnessed in blood
a misconception and still
a broken dimmer switch

the wind

 
Last night the wind
dragged her anchor
a magnificant spectacle along the shore
the sea raging and roaring
all night long
the soul surrounded
by darkness and eternity.
At five in the morning to bed
with the impression of an epic dream
I was exhausted
and there was no desire left
but for sleep.

In Order of Appearance

We held to the bone
of fact, while the
marrow escaped our
grasp, and the seasons
spun out of the radiant
center of the pupil,
falling into the lexical
gap, a lyrical trap,
the black shoes march
the narrow boulevards
of oblong markets
and obsolete tram-cars,
and flittering past
the light of the stars,
the apex of andromeda,
intertextual dialogue,
winking glow of CRT
labyrinth, a mobius
horse-shoe of shifting
luck and hyper-
real radio waves,
resonant antennae of
lucid metaphysic, an
oriflamme of unchecked
desire, a forge
without fire.
Of order, and fate,
chosen, of words
thought - not spoken.

let's call him steve


I worked with a guy, let's call him Steve
who had one of these Napoleon
complexes.

He was six inches shorter than me
and was full speed ahead
with his chest out
like the cock
of the walk and he'd fly
off the handle at every imagined slight

but not all his bluster
can be explained using height, the coke
had something to do with it

and I wasn't crazy about that job
but I still got it
along with my own ways to cope.

Poetry and pot are more fun than coke.

Pauline, d.1869


La belle Pauline
would outlive them all
died at 90 in a Paris apartment
surrounded by uncaged birds
and monkeys

and what did two years in Egypt mean to her
once her hair had turned grey
and Napoleon was just a bit of flesh
floating in alcohol?

She, who was once Cleopatra
and had a rose-petal face?
