"I AM WRITING FROM MY NEW HOME ..."
I am writing from my new home, sitting on the kitchen toilet.It's finer here. I've left most behind. Bells and the people whoring them. All I've kept is my broken hammer paper weight. It waspresented by a seamstress.
Continents are merging back, probably lonely for long. It will belarge when they merge. One large flag, it will be finer.
I am loving the art of one. She is an uncharted. Long ways backshe was tearing for ache of sudden plain. Taking needle point tostream for comfort. I said to her in art, that she must unexpect.That she must reappear without ever once being. She painted me inoil and laughed. Better than tearing or that of needle point,even at sacrificial art of mine.
I've painted a flag on the kitchen floor, for maybe quickeningthe merge. I wrote Anthem on the toilet plate. This pleasurepopper came to place a new on at my ring. When he saw Anthem,yes, he reddened lecture about flag and continental drift. I knowpleasure poppers, stuck more needles than a seamstress.
So for beginning time at my new home, I found Eastland dirt on mykitchen flag. I've put it all aside for my children.
WE
We subsist on corner dust like vague gifts that await use Never looked at with level eye Once in time lowered for public show Their women strum our strings Composing chords dishonest to the ears of children We are put in rooms with floors bare so that steps can be charted from shelf to door Some of us have turned to windows that turn to pastures so that they can see My mother is a gun they use to go free
We wish for extinction But We have no substitution In a world inspiration free Where all they have is We
FRIDAY 5:56 a.m.
Every day it is brief Believers make their way to the praying grounds Heretics lay asleep, most without a spouse Collectors of waste tally up the count The crowes take advantage of any edible debris Busses warm their engines Children smile in appreciation of this golden hour of time Where rumpled sheets are shoved to floor And early rays are blacked out by cotton pillows Dogs receive a morning walk by an owner to the anonymus He's whistling "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" I join in The moment is gone
WHY I AM LONELY
WHY I AM LONELY AS A GHETTO FLOWER FIRE HYDRANT WOMEN TAKE OUTDOOR SHOWERS STONED AS A BOULDER LONGING TO HOLD HER AS THE GUITAR PLAYS THE PIANO FOR THE VIOLIN AND THE STONE TOILET WISHES IT WAS MADE OF PORCELIN INJECTIONS OF JOY IN THE FORM OF TEQUILLA PRAYING TO A COCKROACH WITH MANTIS FEVER TANGERINE COLORED NICOTINE STAINS TATTOOED ON THE INNER WALLS OF HER BRAIN SERPENTINE SWIMMING IN TURPENTINE WATERFALLS SUCKED DRY BY ALCHOL THIRSTY GAUZE LONELY AS A GHETTO FLOWER FIRE HYDRANT WOMEN OUTDOOR SHOWERS
WINTERTIME
The gloves of love on hands slender Running down naked bodies tender Wool scarves penetrating low body crevices Heavy breathing Air cool mint Smoking frozen potent lime She's good to me like sandals in the wintertime
"SOME ALLEY CAT GOT HIS NAIL CAUGHT ..."
Some alley cat got his nail caught on this paper bag It made an awful rustle that made me jump back in Scare I had been smoking Hashish & had to fret for sound and soul While readjusting my Leather, I noticed that I had made it back to the South Side. The mouth side. whEre I had cooked dreams & took drugs. Not long back in time, but straits of water through the rutter. I tried to make more sense this time. I tried to make more sense this time. adapting Northend views. Views on alley & alleycats...
'WE SERVE SCUM!'
GLASS
Her father was a glass drummer He was her trans-parent She would fetch his sticks and she would polish his crystal balls They hired opaque servants to stand in the way of light
"IN A TUNNEL BY THE FREEWAY ..."
In a tunnel by the freeway I lay
Piecing what once they called my Love
Not that of Kinship Nor that of Freedom
Caressing what once they called my Love
POLLEN
pollen breazes through my hair the high grass folds in prayer a sun field horizon frowns at the glistening lips of the waterwell blood streaming sparkles as i stand tall over the dogtooth violets
WHISTLE ME THROUGH YOUR VALLEYS
Whistle me through your valleys I don't wish to wake anybody Harp your fingers through me in terraces of thought I see you undressing tailor Divine clothing make Her of mine Autumn on horizon sets Rustling leaves of golden hair I stare at fair blonde harp as you true to Ars Poetica Wishing we were twins so that I could be so beautiful I life ins lumber smile to images of gentle You Serene as snow on winter tongue Cool as whistle desert hung For echo walking stick I need you Wandering through your valleys Shoes in workman hands of mine for I don't wish to wake anybody
"DEAR SELPH ..."
I am writing due to headaches. You once said that they can becaused by many things, usually dehydration. That may very well bethe case, since I am in the desert. (See, there's only one "s".Two "s"'s means you want more, than it's dessert. Yum!)Headaches can come from stress and constipation, and dental care. Every now and then, I think about the war. Every now and then, Ithink about the war. How we'd sit crouched under the window intattered uniform that our wives stitched. We'd wear boots andbelts and beards. And we had a code. Our wives would beat ourcode, on the carpets that hung out our terraces. Because wewanted change. Change in fight, so bad we wanted. But one mustcollect much constant, to acquire change. Our constant was bluefrom the beatings they gave us. So blue, that our wives had tostop code, to take our care. But they were to be gone. Thoughwith our belts and pride, but gone. Leaving us with beards andcandle-wax. And our code, which we had no strength to pound. You, do you remember yourself? code: Labrador. Your fight to saydifference in country of same. For you, all was code. The soupbowl under the spoon, propped up by the table on the floor, ofthe flat...all the way to the ground. So that they could not dareto comprehend. Not your beatings of the code, nor the code ofyour beatings. Not your beatings of the code, nor the code ofyour beatings. Lulu must remember, for she was once one of them. Besides being you wise, words from your difference often rhymed.Much against same and constant, can you remember? You coded:"Dogs in the green/aren't what they seem/There's more totheir life/ than chasing birds/and barking at all that is free" I hope you can remember, because I nervous often. Thinking myimagination cropped a war to my eyes. So that excuse may be madeeasy to the constant life of changing nothing. I hope you aremore than just boots, and that it is you who coded: "Thetail of the boot/is at the front of the boot/ unlike the tails/ofmany other things"
code: Moon
INTRODUCTION
CIRCLES ARE OFTEN BROKEN BY SUDDEN RAYS OF REASON. I REMEMBERONCE, WHEN NEEDLES FROM A RUSSIAN FEMALE'S SMILE, DRIPPED TOGROUND. THEY HAD TO ARREST HER. I WATCHED THEM, FROM INSIDE THESMOKE SHOP, PUT HER IN WHAT SEEMED TO ME A MOBILE LAVA-LAVA. ICOULDN'T BE SURE, FOR THE SHOP WAS REAL SMOKEY. (SMOKEY REACHEDEXTREME HEALTH WHEN I WAS OVER BANGA-RANG, BUT THAT'S OFF.)ANYWAY, THAT MORNING I HAD TOO MUCH OF THE MOON, SO I CAN NOT BESURE IF ANYTHING FROM THEN TO NOW REALLY OCCURRED. PLACES ARE SELLING OFF THEIR PEOPLE IN ORDER TO SAVE UP FORRIVERS. THE PLACE I USED TO COME FROM, SOLD ME ABOUT EIGHTEENYEARS BACK, AND PURCHASED A NON-ACTIVE CREEK (IT'S INEXPENSIVETHAT WAY.) THEY SAY THAT WITHIN SIXTY YEARS, PLACES WILL BE SEAS,AND PEOPLE WILL BE AQUA-SIZED. HA! I'M NOT AFRAID TO BE AQUA-SIZED.BUT I'VE GOT THIS NEIGHBOR, A PREGNANT ELK ONE, AND HE'S EATINGEGGS WITHOUT SLEEP. THE ELK ONE IS NEGOTIATING WITH A NEIGHBORINGSUN KEEPER, TO CUT THE STRING, AND LET HIS SUN FALL INTO THE SEA.THE ELK ONE SAYS THAT THIS WILL DRY THE SEA DRY. HE EVEN SINGESHIS WATER BEFORE HE SHOWERS, SO THAT HE STAYS TO BELIEF. HISHALLS ARE FILLED WITH PENCIL LINES THAT ADD TO SHOW FRAME:ENDLESS SEA MEETING ENDLESS SKY WITH A HALF DROWNED CIRCLE SUN INCENTER. HE MEANS NO HARM. HE'S JUST SCARED TO BE AQUA-SIZED. IF IWAS AN ELK, I'D BE SCARED, TOO. BUT BEING HARE I KNOW THATCIRCLES ARE OFTEN BROKEN BY SUDDEN RAYS OF REASON.
NEXT SEASON I GET TO FLEW TO ABBADON. IT'S A PRIZE I WON FROM THEBIG LOGIC QUIZ. IT WAS A REAL CINCH. THEY KEPT ASKING ME ABOUTOLD. AND I WAS THE OLDEST. I WONDER HOW ABBADON IS AROUND THISSEASON. WASTE, MY NEPHEW, CELEBRATED HIS TENTH BIRTHDAY LAST DAY. "ADECADE OF WASTE" READ HIS CAKE. I WAS AROUND WHEN THEPARENTS CHOSE A NAME. I SUGGESTED DILL, BECAUSE WHEN SPELLEDBACKWARDS, IT MAKES NO SENSE. BUT THEY WENT WITH WASTE, SAYING,IT BUILDS CHARACTER. I USED TO BUILD CHARACTER, IT WAS GOOD PAPERAT THE TIME. BUT NOW-A-YEARS CHARACTERS ARE JUST A SUB-INGREDIENTIN HOUSE-HOLD CHEM. SERVANTS USUALLY HAVE CHARACTER, SO WE USE'MFOR INTERTAINMENT. THIS STUDY SAID THAT SOMETHING IN THECHARACTER MAKES YOU LOSE SENSE AND CONTROL OVER LOGICAL MOVE. ITHINK THEY MOVE REAL NICE. SEE, WHENEVER THEY HEAR A CRY, OR ASCREAM, OR A SHOT THEY MOVE REAL NICE. BUT IN ORDER FOR US TOKEEP OUR LOGIC AND OUR INTERTAIMENT, WE HAD TO PURCHASE A SCHOOLOF RED-BREASTED FEMALES. WE'D GIVE THEM LIQUID AND THEY'D STARTTO CRY, AND SCREAM, AND SHOOT ALL OVER. AND THE SERVANTS MOVEDREAL NICE. NOT LIKE US.
THE SUPERLATIVE LADDER WHEEL IS WALKED BY ANCIENT LOVERS OF LOGIC.IT WAS WHEN COEXISTENCE. LACKING PHONICS I SCREAM TO DRAWATTENTION, AT ANY COUNT, AND TWO MORE CUPS OF MOON. RAAAAAH! IT'SVOLCANIC. LOGIC AROUSING HIGH. TURNING WHEELS OF LAVA AND THINK,SIMULATING INFINITY. BEFORE PARTS BECAME PLACES (NOW SEAS) THEREWERE ONES. LOVERS. THEY COEXISTED. ENTERING AND EXSITING EACHOTHER, OVER MOON SHOTS, THEY WERE FORMED, AND THEY FORMED. NOTIME OF WAY COULD COMPREHEND SUCH STEPS. IN LADDERS AND CIRCLES,AS GRAND AS REASON'S IGNORANCE. THEY WALKED UP AROUND, AND AROUNDENTERING AND EXSITING EACH OTHER, OVER MOON SHOTS, THEY'D LAUGH,ABOUT DIMENSIONS AND A FUTURE US. SHUNNING FRAME. KNOWING LOVE. IAGAINSTED THAT OF THEM, WHEN FORCE FED THROUGH BRAIN. BUT I WASSTAR, FAR FROM MOON, COMPREHENDING NO MORE THAN PEBBLES ON SHORE.HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO WHEEL, ESPECIALLY ONE SUPERLATIVE. SO IAGAINSTED BELIEF. AND SO BELIEF PUT ME IN A REASON CELL.
HE LAID ON FLOOR. WITHIN CHALK CIRCLE. CLOTHED IN NONE. WE WERETO COEXIST. I HAD EARED OF HIS BEING (BUT DOUBTED STARS TO BETRUE, BEING THAT WE HAD COEXISTED, AND OUR DISJUNCTION WASTHROUGH NEEDLE-POINT.) I STOOD ON GROUND. HE LAID A FINGER'S WAYABOVE. I TOOK OF BOARDS FROM BACK, FOR THEY WERE HEAVY HANGINGAND BELONGED TO THOSE I AGAINSTED. STRIPPED OF FRAME, I LAID. ONPAPER PILES. I GREW BEARD AND STARED AT HIS INTENSE HOVER. I USEDTHE PAPER TO BUILD CHARACTER. HE INTENSED CONTINUALLY, ONCE INTIME LOWERING HIMSELF. I'D STAND AND TRY TO SPEAK TO... BUT HEIMMEDIATELY ASCENDED OVER CIRCLE, INTENSING SILENT MOAN. I'D GROWBEARDS OVER IGNORANT LIMBS. I'D BUILD CHARACTER TO STATIONARYTHOUGHT. FOR WINDS AND WINDS AND WINDS, WITHOUT EVEN ONE MOON...
