    Sprung fountain
    breaks a ward
    with no necessity
    but alleviation—

    langoring lament
    to company without,
    the burden novel
    expansive quick above.

    Understanding is no sterling
    sensation, a prim apositive
    beleaguered waiting band.
    But golden alluvial

    accumulation,
    wistful in the by,
    sings reverberant
    the patient deep flow.

    In passionate route
    deep descendent
    route commences
    with passing company,

    an open quick conversant
    crowd, takes skim

    acquired conscipient quips
    in solvent drips

    to collect intransitory
    troughs, flown low,
    subobservant croon

    rich arrival a swift
    patient peculiar glut
    in arterial gut.

    Heavily worn
    And speaks a quick handwrought
    disguise fodder—
    it is found in the flesh
    so susceptible
    to dream chain down another
    great subverse.

    Shake back and wait, complete
    forgotten slurry out of nerve,
    scant of reason
    summer slings discount
    response to appease
    slippery sense.

    Do you who waits for
    sterling repose, mandering
    affect on will
    call to gather and seduce
    slivers from just under toe?

    Sleek measure, just appropriation
    of quavering into silent gesture,
    gaunt reckless skeleton leans

    into fashion, the next
    slim tickle, part way
    querent sigh—

    oh collapse from within,
    release to the tome
    of eyes availing naught
    but muscle tones effect
    into identity and cross
    corrective to the aid of strong
    far ferried foe.

    And to timed collapse the
    bring about a quick grievant
    wallow of resolution to resolve
    a pithy restraint
    of fingers, of thumbs
    of nature craft result
    in limit

    that each wisping clot
    figures into soft repose—

    each day goes by
    to weigh in with material
    day, and dawns impatient
    glut.

    endless trip onward
    foot over crack
    and step
    smooth relief with
    moment on corner
    switch and about
    we are, collect
    return to breathe
    and step
    and step

    Lowing Refrain


    With parch front settled
    sour milk soaked in corner
    bits of
    collars limp, angry and lifted
    wise from
    nine hundred sixty-nine
    pumped on through minutes

    we stand
    deserting resolve
    vision to ample
    ways sucked dry on
    a moment
    littered flittingly
    masquerade
    and pardon.

    Trotting in pant legs
    drag sweep dirt up
    fling and notice first
    There's no one here.
    with whisk forth
    on rhythm
    per force
    ears, locks, sniff,
    and on
    meter the rocks
    will gather.

    If you notice,
    you'll have fixture
    swinging out of revolving
    doorways perplexed at queries
    rattling along with

    grazing
    four-part
    cud gnash
    whey spill
    with curd

    closely to follow.


    This is holy-
    bright and resilient,
    a stain picked
    for steps trail
    and brief uncertainty
    picks a warbling
    edge to send
    shuffled feet
    random
    and again
    you walk through
    speckled
    and please,
    do not jump from spot to spot.

    What I would Like to State about the State
    No Matter What Happens—

    I will not forget


    We have been overtaken.

    We hear noise spatter, construe
    and picture a mating world
    picturing itself on a matted screen,
    recognize turbulence on fold
    from catapulting care and due
    ratified by hororists who so crane
    necked seek their prize.

    Be for the guide
    lining the streets
    with partition and
    salvation is here.

    We gather moss on the soles of our feet.

    feeling rythmic -- two weeks ago
    I too can swish a stick,
    grip and flick, along the street
    to let a passing fellow know
    he'd better keep his feet on stride
    to destiny as some attendant
    watchman's branch, the rattling
    drum or rapier's dance;
    he'll move along with silent feet
    another path, another street,
    the sound kept still for future trick
    as some relentless tyrant's stick.

    Each wave rolls
    soft and curl
    peddling in
    measure and lift,
    languid in craft
    and decides-
    at point to toss
    the egg of ocean
    fail to the blue
    and there in touch
    is the draw.

    Matters come and go to the doors to welcome
    fastest dreams, settling reasons and catchers
    for maids who squeeze the rinds of fruit
    they find each sir, and wringing it know
    where it bends and slides pulp over pulp
    timing itself with the weight of the age.

    Young thing,
    pace along,
    sugar and sweet
    the minutes
    and the days,

    Instructions for Babies

    In sitting on down there is no wait, there is no fashion, only the meeting of ride and relax. Note the keen way your flesh hugs the ground, revel in the monument of your bones, the light array of the things surrounding your moment. It is never too late to begin, and never the right moment to stand, keep walking and know the next place you find you will sit, and stop falling, just stick on for the time being.

    Stand is another floor higher, you'll know by the gravity of the impending motion you cannot avoid. Rock back and forth, feel tension waiting to dislodge you, saddle the rancor and learn to know when to lean and when to sway. You can do it on your own, try it out for a bit and then master the fear of falling- remember all there is to descend to is a seat. From here you can see further over the ground. The sights are there to be seen and you may take advantage of them. There is no harm in looking.

    From the height you have so many options, but let us begin with the walk. Stumble forward with a first step, put your foot in front of you to betray your body's attempt to fall. Shift yourself forward, keep the center in mind, do not lean or sway, when walking these are advanced maneuvers. It is easiest to walk when one just keeps going. Stopping causes imbalance, knocks you for a loop, makes your eyes and ears shift their frames and everything will look different. Speed makes everything relative.

    From here it is up to you, learn the skip and the jump, the sashay and dance. Wave your arms in the air to see your balance for itself, cradle the world in your arms, the motion has set you free. Running is advanced walking. Beware the oncoming objects, put your arms in front of you if you have the fear, your arms and hands are there to stop the pain, they will hold you back from the ground. Sitting is harder in motion, so no reliance is best.

    Take motion and run, now remember the first lesson, and don't forget to sit sometimes, and examine all you now have with the stretch of a leg and the will to go.

    on the waves

    Sliding sines number the times they follow themselves
    calling the number until the machine picks up.

    Frantic manning of the shores, reading the same books
    over the light of a candle, flickering and sanction
    regulate middle slopes to the favor and wish
    of an upswing.

    If you don't present the problems over time expect
    a cascading, threatening rhythmic crash, will mettle
    and pluck the the shells out of sand, loosing
    the damnation of yesterday's signals, exile fishing
    itself from the get go, and then you'll know
    indeed.

    "Hello?"

    tube head

    We have a
    two for one
    -laugh track-
    sale ending
    sunday!

    Asleep on the couch, Jim doesn't
    notice his wife opening the door
    until it's too late and he's been
    hit with the sunday paper.
    "You haven't cut
    the lawn, have you?"

    If he had it might have tried to swallow
    him whole honey, didn't you notice the teeth
    they've grown, the seepage from the cables
    running rampant under the yard leaked ads
    the blades of grass were quite ready to
    spend their savings getting sharper
    while Jim lets it all soak in-
    the spreading drool marks each second
    they sell to him under his snoring breath.

    Free financing
    for silence,
    we promise.

    "Go dig up the weeds
    before it gets dark."
    See what you find under the dirt there,
    run your fingers through the smallest
    distinction you can make, salvage the flowers
    if you can. make the sun run backwards, and tell
    your neighbors dying isn't a problem unless
    it happens while you're sleeping. Jim gets up
    before he can feel the paper over his head again,
    reaches to turn off the television
    but he can't turn the dial,
    and there's Johnny
    giving the opening
    monologue to grass.

    drip drip drip drip drip drip drpi
    So there is the dirt, it shows
    itself when it has been soaking
    progressive droplets on march
    right on across the pattern
    and sinking in everywhere.
    You have a leak, fine hairline
    crack letting water into your home,
    saving itself within the fibers
    in the carpet and slinking along
    the ready path to the next small
    hole it seeks, to hide.

    The flow holds itself
    upright and shakes
    the notion that creeps
    slowly, we are all just
    dropping hints of single
    thoughts failing to predict
    our moment of impact.

    Sop us up with a towel.
    Carry each thought through
    to the washer, put them in
    to spin.
    Model forward thinking:
    I may be a copy, or I may be
    too thin.
    Dry it out before the return.
    Bring the yearning
    cloth bit, throw it back
    upon the floor, and know
    soon the rest will come
    crashing
    through the ceiling
    and nothing you have at hand
    will stop us.
    3:45 am
    we work our hands like cinder blocks
    leaning into the next slight gesture
    with a steady moment only holding up
    in the constant presence of friction.

    i slide fingers over pages of rough notes,
    leaf in and out of years of pent up rages,
    and now there is only a worn surface that
    verily might just slip any second now— tips
    i should have taken from the Beatings will
    lose grip and i can let torrid love affairs
    tumble from my chest and leave
    trails the slimy martyrs won't come near
    for fear of such earth solvent salt.

    don't worry. i may come and go,
    while at Chinaski's wake, they keep
    going
    and going,
    with sinful unsalient
    weeping.

    Peach fountain sorta

    With hand over brow,
    sunshine as well as
    the back of our hands,
    distance stays put, one mile
    lingers a mile away, no matter
    the steps or the roll,
    but one of these days
    you will arrive.

    mother does your hair before
    the big dance, and Johnny
    will pick you up soon. Johnny
    Cash playing in his car, wearing
    just the right flower, bright
    dreams linger in the neon sign
    flickering in a television
    shop as they drive by
    and make their way.

    steps on toes dutifully,
    arm around not quite
    the right time hasn't
    shown itself, but she will.
    stop dancing for punch,
    take his hand and stroll
    through fields of busy bees
    wearing only the finest
    in home made garb.
    grows old slowly,

    the dance,
    one more time and then
    depart, know when dips
    make you bobble, head
    home, but detour first.

    we will have shakes, fizzy
    pop, cherry malteds, on top
    of sundaes, of soda, a shirley
    temple, for the lady. one day
    we grow old and know
    candid desire was not
    forbidden, just a little
    before
    new.

    on to the long drive home,
    the tension nimble
    fingers can't avoid.

    on putting simple asides
    to learn the name
    in between.

    on night fall, it becomes
    a moment, linger
    inside his eyes.

    on
    one of these, days
    never come.

    on top of greeting the day
    whitewall tires and
    lollipop dandilions field
    questions on the nature
    of human existence
    they know nothing
    and we wander on
    floating
    at the hop.

    Dig 'em up. That's what I said, calling
    to the wreckage so the plane and everyone
    dead and alive could hear. Wreak havoc
    with the evidence, scatter the dried blood
    floating on pools of engine oil wide into
    the grassy seas waiting for just one
    life preserver to try and float. Let'em
    ride, gamble with the single chance
    they had nothing else to do, so give them
    seat cushions, oxygen masks and no
    smoking, just in case we crash over water and
    the last thing a drown victim might want
    is fire.

    After dreaming

    Wandering in from steep midnight
    the calls come pouring in over breakfast,
    tall glasses are filled and, well, we
    take another look at ourselves.

    It's brand new they say, but every
    time is just like the one before and
    there goes the neighborhood. Lights're
    ceremoniously shut off before slinking
    under sheets and sinking into sleep.
    Then we had another shot of sand, our
    eyes gulp down the darkness, reforming
    everything until spinning rooms and how
    many fingers are up? Faces get misplaced
    in waves of vicious rapid movement just

    under heavy eyelids. Goggles look onward,
    and say they'd do that, jump on speeding
    wagons, ride 7 wheels just to wake and do it
    all over again. So pour another glass, we'll
    look through, slosh ourselves around
    in memorium, eyeing what we tried for so long
    and mix in some dry liquor. Another glass.

    One for me, one for you.

    Grade school arithmetic

    Skataling through the grassland,
    my five legged antelope hops
    one and a quarter times as fast—
    forgetting that Mrs. Murphy says,
    "Antelope don't have five legs
    Jimmy, you should erase one
    so he doesn't fall down." On
    the second day of first grade
    I was already singled out
    a fifth leg, scrambling to keep
    rhythm in the forefront, putting
    eagles with three wings next
    to an American flag, seventeen
    five eyed cats in alleys filled
    with double nosed rats on their

    last leg. Badgers, the kid next to
    me has drawn rabbits and rabbit
    holes, each rabbit with four paws
    and two ears, running swiftly from
    badgers with black and white stripes
    running down their backs. He doesn't
    know that my twenty-eight ten
    eyed squirrels have long walrus
    teeth and eighty-two hind legs to make
    his badgers fear for their lives.
    His rabbits have no chance.

    I tell my mom I see fishes
    slithering into asps with rattles,
    on humongous hind legs waiting
    to discover the rhinocerous they
    belong to. Dogs on three leashes
    try three times as hard to run after
    the seven winged pigeons,
    smell three times as well
    as the orangutan with only one armpit,
    and eat half as neatly as five gizzard
    buzzards. It isn't fair that father gets
    a four-legged puppy for my birthday.
    I go to my room and cry ninety-twelve
    tears, ripping fingers from my gloves
    and praying to thirteen gods that
    someone would hear with their eighteen
    ears. He never listens. I know I asked for
    the five-legged variety every time
    he asked me twice, and mother just won't
    back me up more than once.

    So in class I draw floppy eared
    cockroaches feeding on leftover
    nine eyed olive pizza, covered with
    two-tailed anchovies and five udder
    mozzarella. Mrs. Murphy says there's
    no difference between one udder cheese
    and five, but I tell her it's important anyhow—
    because if five udders can make a cheese
    then my six fingers can draw an antelope,
    skataling through the grassland
    one and one quarter times
    as fast.

    n. Jill- Jack

    Imagination tells us
    of the things we expect to exist,
    drowning in our words.

    Deep down in a well the world,
    with no more cause for growth,
    forgets.
    It looks down, does not notice
    there is more than itself at the bottom-

    Deeper, survival depends
    on watchers and finders,
    on putting on dresses
    of sudden attack,
    twenty-four black
    birds launch from earth
    upon speaking feather
    and finding the words
    to put ourselves in a tub
    with three men, lost
    in the middle of something.
    Each step is taken to confirm
    in the act of saving
    that it is
    only in naming
    whether it really happened
    that something first,
    or first the name that makes
    reality in lush and damp.

    Spilling first what I had gathered,
    it was left only to eyes
    to have seen and led wonder
    into the might
    of the situation.
    Might it never have happened if
    Jill didn't come along
    with a song on her parched lips,
    changing a tune that cascaded
    into a tune of descent.
    Mother,
    you wrote it down,
    and thus
    a crash follows.

    So walking forth, sand on the road,
    salt in her eyes,
    we have no more words for


    because in the absence of hunger,
    we do not define food,
    I did not say,

    "I am the one who walked up the hill,
    and you only followed,"
    once my head fell open

    and all that I had
    was soaked into the ground.
    6:31 am
    Inversion

    Signs tell me
    more is to come.

    I speak, and exude
    tonal pitches on average
    to the average con
    versation on meters of a
    coercive language bringing
    radiance and absorbance
    in full
    splintering
    stop.

    You will not gather
    evidence against
    the notion that I am
    fully with
    It is said,
    "He who travels from one path to another-
    in no way marking his trail,
    makes an impressively hard act to follow."
    But I say,
    "If you think you're buying a tracking device
    make sure it's a one way receiver."
    And neither is correct.

    Such is the nature of my story-
    you listen, while I
    I...
    I, I, while you were away
    I looked at the neighbors.
    "You what!?"
    I can see!!!
    "This is wonderful!"
    Isn't it?
    And so, I sat by and looked at the neighbors,
    you gave me time, and I
    sat by and looked at the neighbors.
    I did learn a lot.

    Brother Matthias is a loving brother.
    Every night he tucks my teddy bear in with me.
    Mom always tucks me in so tight I can't fit my teddy
    into my bed with me, but my brother always comes along
    and stuffs teddy in with me. It gets tighter, but at least
    I have teddy!

    I am a grain of sand
    clinging to my master's
    backside after he has
    waded in the ocean.

    Something tells me,
    if there is wisdom in
    reconnaissance only,
    this is finality,

    This is a path
    I have not yet taken,
    and that is in itself
    and therefore whole.
