Bandwagon of your own birth
How
How to get off it
…………..
He was still alive
When we got there
………….
“Kim is a dying language”
…………
Anticlockwise
Nautilus spiral
In Southern hemisphere
…………
No way out
Dead end
End
Dead
………..
Go quantum
My friend
Be everywhere at once
………..
Dying and living
Parts
…………
Doing no harm
………..
Forgot
My name
…………
And the upshot?
What, this?
This what?
………….
Code red
"Pray for the people inside your head"
……………
The ones who will never be
Tickled pink
…………..
Singing from the belly
Button
…………..
The swipe I took at him
Was centuries old
………….
"...the awful system of life and death."
"He said everything alive was at war. "
………….
This spirit of shards
Applying for jobs
In the before and
Afterlife
………….
Poor old beautiful
Body
………….
Delicious dirty girl
………….
All the great things of life
He couldn't put in his CV
His spectacular fizzles
His laughing sex his
Terrors
His pregnancies and births
Dirty little betrayals
………………
Unearthed
To earth she now returns
…………..
Like shit
You stepped in
And brought
Home
……………
I loved her bottom half
The way
She stumbled
Into dancing
…………….
The art of slowly
Folding
Into the earth
…………..
Looming doom
…………..
Little justice system
In the small
Of her back
Known to me alone
………………
Loyal to the ordinary
……………
Promises made
To the sun
…………
I was chasing
Her skin
…………..
My behavior was
Suspicious
I was carrying
Suspicious
Packages
Of light.
Everyone
Vibrating
Like tuning forks
Around me.
If I see something
I will say something.

This poem
A blank check
------------
Nights my dick
Jumped out of bed
And wandered the city
………………
The death that followed
The life
Was a good one
And we danced with
The dead one
Till morning
……………..
Look who's talking
Look who's peeping
…………….
Pre-catastrophe
It was commonplace
To embrace
Lick and take the body
Of the other
Into our own.
Breathing sweetened our days.
We had brains
And the freedom not to use them.
We bent ourselves into
Question marks
That pierced our own hearts.
………………
Where's Waldo
In the small
Of the day
……………..
Dream:
Flying on my back propelled backwards
Effortless
Rachel there unseen
The greatest happiness amazing flying
…………………..
Unnamed lived four months.
No humanity membership card
For him.
Tenure denied.
Breathing rights revoked.
He lived four months
Glorious and miserable
With his four pounds
A rag on this Earth.
He did smile once
Said his mother
Enough
To make him human.
………………..
Breasts and the girls
Who carry them
Like armfuls of fruit
Want freedom
………………
My heart's yours
For the taking
Forsaking
Breaking
……………..
Suspicious package
In bed
……………..
All the snares and traps
Are set and singing
Nooses braided neat
And gently swinging
……………….
I was taking on
Water
The tide in me
Fast rising
Three women
Pulling from the moon
Bail me out
With a slotted spoon
Capsized
Cast ashore
Shipwrecked
Like puzzle pieces
The desert island
The Lost and Found
And not even a dream
Between us
-------------
Click languages (listen)
----------
Play peek a boo
For the rest of my life
Perfectly happy
--------------
I was talking to Sea Level
To Horizon Line
To Circumference
And Mean Time.
Scribble and Trouble
-------
He doesn't know
What to do
With his hands.
………………
So then I give her
The river
And what does she do
With it
……………….
Tooth fairy
Left those children
Bombs
Under their pillows
……………..
Peoplepigsandbirds
Shuffling viruses
……………..
During my hundredth
Pregnancy
…………………
Who owns my voice?
It's not my own
……………….
Springtime and
The phantom limb
Of his libido
Tingles
Aches
…………….
“That was one motherfuckin’
$2 Leprechaun!”
…………………..
The first question is
Is there a surface
The curvature zero
Degenerate flow
Region that suggests
We come back to being sucked masterfully
Bounded by everything
Little stuff
Sick to death of three dimensions
Go to my grave with the proof
I just wanted to confirm
A one parameter family in the
Canonical neighborhood
Everywhere the curvature ancient solution
Then there's very little left
In three dimensions
Hyper dimensions
You get everywhere
……………………
Believe me
You don't want me
In your army
…………………..
Laurelandhardier
Every day
…………………
I owe you big-time
Magnolia
………………….
The arc of your life
In the village of sorry
Going from dark to light
Big now
In the wee dimension
…………………..
You have come to this
Every seed
Lower power
Let's take her infinite hand
I have enough volume now
Nanopower
Let go my ball and chain
R plus R on cherry tree lane
Do you want to breathe now
Or later?
Please let cupola open
………………
I lived
Preparing
My Twinkie defense
……………….
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Hold onto each other
………………
Blackberry has dingleberries
……………..
Macaroni and cheese
Non-existent
In SOME universe
otherwise identical to ours
………………
Ran down to beach
At dawn today
Backwards
Hands in opposite pockets
Held breath
One eye closed
Thinking not thinking
Picked up shells with teeth
Found
ass hole
Washed up
On shore
Message in it
Lost ring
Found ring
Ran home on hands
House had turned to gold
