Fallacy of the perfect dictionary

I want battalions

No metaphor or fact

Beautiful horse or storm

With a chance it will kill

Passed out to perfection

Too close to repulse

Our adrenal event

Celebrates the scepter class

The shadow defense

Happily draped

Nothing but an effect

You are confirmed in seat 21C

Goosefat & gristle

Caws to muscle

Who's buried in the floor

Who wants to know

Niagara

I trust the hammer

Idyllic tears & tributaries

back basin echo to sign the air

to trap the fish

Your low center of gravity

somersaults to evade

Niagara’s request

was it Destroy all monsters or the MC5

lacking the love Iggy required

Stooges unable to answer

A riot not a strike

no misnomer

happily withdrawn

Cave of our own making

how do you spell

lost words how do you spell

missing ingredient

your article too kind

the Utopian airways

boat floating all boats

what is or equals

echo and Narcissus

I rest my case

painful letters cascade

‎fingerprints

loop after loop

here to perform the vanishing trick

Haunted illusion

false to its own memory

They say it is curtains

named for the Roman gods

who hammered the water

Duck and Coverlet

Full glass

take half

yogurt & salt

desiccate

submerge in olive oil

apply pepper

Repeat the following week

Recipe for form

clipped back into sound

Our ship hidden

hounded by gulls

absent the foul taste

Denial is a siren song

I dreamt I was in the engine car or caboose
someone said do not feel what you are feeling

do not enter the arms of the feral beast

this is how the world ends

Follow the marching ants & form a ball

a bridge in which the future is written

A world of diagrams & intercept points

It's after the end of the world

‎I'd seen him

singing Soviet songs on his stroll

If we were centipedes

Lost in our own footnotes

What new light trapped inside

I tied tubes

walked to the shoal

Another day at the thought collective

Sound of ducks landing

on the interstate

Motioned to appeal the motion

Imprisoned in the wave that follows

Beyond where we can see

6 minutes to dissolve

to undermine this moment

red hull 

stars on the sea

Empathy toolkit

Looked for rational limits

Gave myself to machines

to the accumulation of lost counts

Took truth off the market

Denounced myself in 25 words or less

If inoculation is overrated

I need proper nouns

not enough pop in the punch

to counter levels of abstraction in the time required

Is it time I asked myself

Compassion not capitulation

Is it about to rain

a poem invoking or inducing rain

No living to make until the living makes you

This is the new fake me to the tune of

50,000 or jail time or was it twinkle twinkle little star

followed by the hegemony of what we want 

We want Architecture to breed the negative

to fire that fungal thing

to connect Tree to shining tree

not Capital's unquenchable thirst

Donner Party of six billion

(too many served or starved)

Each vampire homes in and hides out

Each zombie shoeless unvested

I am not Apollo but plague him

Of all her words none

gendered unfortunate

Lost if the message comes out

The only question is

who moved into this life

no breakfast or lunch

Mother of all ghosts

can't double back

sounding alarm for Apollo

What’s the name of that song

what’s the voice of that voice

the infernal exit back on the highway

I am not Apollo but plague him
