We captured

opposing threads

How antecedents get up

on the downbeat

 

How the coffee mill killed

Groove, the crosshatch

Origin unknown

Diagram insufficient

 

Was it enough that we sold out

Vertical axis‎

The pronoun’s fatal lean-in

inconsistent

 

Thumbdown song‎s

trapped in the corridor

of thought

Syncope of words

 

Which brings me back

to what the White Wing wants

Montegreens up past the snowline

The rebel splice‎

 

Killed by contrail

No mirror phase no cordial view

‎Queered by clouds

Embraced by tears

Ghost of a lion

-after Charles Ray

Skinnier here

at the back of the neck

unswallowed

I couldn’t eat my way out

 

Caught tying shoe

dreaming without pants

‎I wore all my clothes

imagining some other future

 

All mocktails & shebrews

onions and crust

delectable transit

smooth in the rough

 

all the children

Lucian & Lucy

the smallest punch for whatever purpose

My gut said this is my field

 

the Rock said this is my relation to field

No orchestration

no hang time no banished theatre

no inner resolve for outer cruelty

‎

No artifice and body

no broken vertebrae

just Jiminy & Cricket

old names in the hour of death

St Ann M’ass

       (after AH in spirit of RG)

 

To control gas

Burn the bottle

Ban it!

 

Let us liberate

Fingers, sentient noun

Whirligig mount & dismount

 

Sutures that thrive

& cut to the quick

Hold expansion slot & turn

 

Litany of names

How much per head

How much per likeness

 

Dear Calvin & Hobbes

Whose Rabbit Ears

Have lost the image

 

Monuments to monuments

Lochness monsters

Till it hurts

 

Image of music

Blue acetate thread

Below Crow sky

 

Let's haul flesh

Bell curves

to spin and contrive

 

Clothes to gather what

Command singed

Bred in smoke

 

& dressed in ranch

A little pepper yes

Table racked

 

For bifocal vision

Landless aperture

Embraced

 

Red & black

Unanimous swing vote

Mailed the pigeons home
