Have A Good One
In defense of self-awareness
I'd just say anger possesses
its own intelligence, subject
of course, to cherry-picking
or, at minimum, cherry-like
flavor. & if, like, calculations
get fleshed into the green room
as a consequence of my refusal
to keep filling slots, there'll still
be an incorporated body to
behold. I talk more and more
when a pure chance comes by.
Have A Good One
I do take relentless
as a compliment. All this work
dealing with making it work.
Pigeons own the top
of our a/c and I wonder
if we're breathing in
their shit. It's fall.
Someone quit something & I
can have it.
Am I supposed to keep
the blunt, arty
bafflement of cause
the job comes with?
I don't want you to come
and expect to stay.
I don't want to raise
a kid like me.
Have A Good One
It's like when
you need to be
owner and coach
is what I'm
talking about.
It's no use
being torn in
five to twelve
pieces. There's
no manual, no
ethical sub-routines
to delete. Scary
to ride a jet-propelled
shopping cart off
some pithy lake
pond middle class
dock. "Any loss
of life is tragic,"
a spokesperson
added.
Have A Good One
Kingfisher sighting sparks
epic stroll. Dollerup Hills
touch moors & keep me out
of mind a little longer. The
impossibility of being true
does not divine any future
moves here, a vacant comfort
a developing relationship
with the shapes of horror.
Job in makeup: well, no
I'm not terribly qualified.
Back to the brink, as ever.
Have A Good One
I was taunted by
a sheep and her
lamb today, in
a Jutland field.
They roam free
here, and I was
failing to make
a call or the phone
was failing. The
two stood parallel
to one another
staring at me while
I strolled by. They
rotated slowly to
continue staring
as I continued
strolling and
gradually vanished
from their view.
Have A Good One
Just wasted
and taking it.
In life
I rally
constantly.
Effort is what we
breach. And
accountability.
Honed limits
do you require
ruthlessness or subtlety?
The # for that delivery service
I could find. My
instinct is to agree
with the collective.
I'll flip over
their indoor/outdoor
reversible rug.
But my feelings
& their representatives
the passing sacrosanct
mob cuddle
stirring expedience
are mine. Gradations
of default tenor.
Anything but more instinct.
A proxy of determination
in a cosmic discharge salon
speaking freely of cost's
elephantine deployable
former charm.
I'm micromanaging nausea.
The dishes are twilighting.
The dairy scythe elevatrix
skins my shining
teleprompted sporkdom.
As poor specimens
go, the trail left
inhabitable trails.
Arkanoid as meditative.
space, if we travel by
dragonfly. I cling
to thy moving perimeter.
I want payment
for all instances
of being caught
on camera. We
all should.
Mutually
assured destruction
overdosed on civility
by comparison.
Babywiping lead paint
dust from my soles.
I'll read entrails
for omens, action
figure entrails.
Have A Good One
The expression of a speck
of life, impractically speaking
is gonna make it hard to walk
Have A Good One
When I am withdrawn
& avoid eye contact
but show up to the doctor place
carry the bag
clean up the mouse shit
pick up the order, the boxes
nod at the general purpose
& don't speak
on those days
it's in order to do
the things I have to do
and not sink
into ownership
of my present as built
habit by habit
deception by deception
