Buck Downs

*
the vertical part of
the book peeled down.
and physical
being became as
a mist but still in
as much trouble if
a bus should run into
one. later we get to take
a dive, under neath
the strobe a light.

*
made of a spun sugar
I am in some pretty
tight knots.        did you
know that one and one
want to know how
it feels. you didn’t
want to know. that’s
how it feels.

 

*
then that was my other
thought not to think it
overmuch but step it on
out to my graveyard
                             bones jones
between here and the there
we got it on on exchange
now we can take each other
apart & see what it was
wake me up when its
quitting time’s over.

 

*
color is an extra
color. can you make it
sound-colored. it’s crazy
to avoid a fight w/in.
politics beauty and junk.
stop at 7-ELEVEN
for slurpee & a pack
of rough riders. make me
feel like a piece of jerky
that doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t come on
have some.

 

*
it all came out
frozen animals.
frozen together
and then all come
apart but frozen
solid age. there never
is a golden age
but thinking makes
it so. eat something
value-added. You might.
objects in mirror are
cooler than they appear.
don’t be cool.

 

 

*
I am minus plenty.
driving around in this
suite of rooms w/royal
icing. Arts for the Equa
lization of the People.
driving around King
James’ {version of the}
infirmary. I am on a
lookout for the spirit
that moves up hill.

 

 

*
pull my head out of the bag
once I have emptied it

another loose museum
evacuates like cola.
history is piling up
the figures           last one dead
gets to count it all over.

 

 

*
cut the signs out
of this deviance
copy it backward
& call it a day.

watching television
causes epilepsy.
you get to
watch it happen.

 

 

*
specify that empty
entering. when things
are lost do you look
behind things. what has
not fit me ill is its en
tirity. that is not
a proper form of in
terrogation. done gild
that lily-fit in its own
little gin of urine.
& who’s the lily then

 

 

*
some days get lost better.
it comes to an improminence
then, with an ear for the reading
what neptune might have hedged
on
             the discovery of a real
             underground under
             the underworld
                                            one pop up
                                 the shade tree

business. allergic
to the chain trade
had no place left to go
down on the guy.

 

 

*
you look reified
just right. It feels
like enormous
movements but they
are quite small. what’s
the big deal. that’s the
big deal. that changes.
until the running
fence of human
thought no longer
imitates the visible
and vanishes. then
it is the visible
& then jump.

 

 

*
a river ran him over and
ran over him again. it was
a river-in-a-can. can you
come here or can I come
to you {this actually
happened}
