so plenty of time, in summer they run wild with their line

he grows back, casts the first stone

come someone and go somewhere they find

I count crimes, absinthe and lime, a pound and a penny and climb.

You can’t grow back what has no fall and fast they run when have no tell your burying ways in gradual clime as chattering things come wild in behind and pouring the way over water and fall in the idolators day and the christians’ call how many were found and lost in that fall.

And late last night or early this morning, Daimian had a chainsaw for one hand, waving it about and cutting things off including himself in a very upsetting but not life-threatening way.  A restaurant, health food, a painting, ah?  Or none of those fragments except the persisting thought that I ought to tell Daimian about that chainsaw.





If you’re gonna have an evil cat, don’t name it “Forgiveness.”

The smoothies were good.  Yeah, how was your day?  Yeah, mine was fine.  Driving home.  All of the cross streets turned to schools, and they stood on stage, purple trophies were what they gave.  You held my hand.  You asked me why I wanted to stay.  “But there’s no way to believe all the things I don’t say to you.”–Jim Infantino

in parts of pieces laid so low and fine as might there partway go

these triplicate processes daily refine while maybe anybody else could know

the trifling wobble of excess want that never rises to see the need

and nightly promises access or not depending upon the seed.

I ought to redesign it all, I ought to draw more, I ought to write about everything I’m buying especially the readables, I ought to be sweating, I ought to be clutching the sheets, and I’d like a clean kitchen, there to cook couscous and beets.

sort by now and with though from have cut through then and half by white

old can win as walk past twice how they came forth as night began light

eight in doubt and twine for rope caught down under firing pain

those on shelf in write and ray made hope before that gain

as both instead of rock for now

the time we have to leave or play.

Back at Bar 717 for a visit, K was typically cold while walking around with an inspector, and I waved at the usual folks and said hello to some kids and explained to the old friend whose girlfriend I’d just slept with that (even though he didn’t want to hear anything like this from me) I wasn’t trying to compete with him, and that he was at a crux now and had to decide whether he wanted to go the distance with her.  He left and the other fellow there told me it was a crock, what was I talking about, and was just about to explain how anger clouds or skews my perspective when the alarm went off for the second time, or perhaps the third.

as can’t so towards they past run from

a light amongst a pouring whey

the cloak so lofting down as curls and curves in circling trough.

As pay and can’t are past and fun though full and vigorous all under those.

Nor east then through your wheedling tongue as time we count against his hooves.

A dream or five on a couch I shouldn’t sleep on any more.

A week or three without taking advantage of the proffered passage.

My back aches when I eat junk food, just like Oprah.

I whittle a little every day and lo! A month or three pass by and I can see the forest again.





forget this pajama business

curves rising sheets white crimson
careful crimpled tangled drowsy
so and so and here and yes
remember that, and do you remember where it is
and can I yes will you rise up
or lie back
a deeper blue than that, but just as intense
they are sensitive after
and when she is soft, the whole world is soft.





There are several more names than deeds.

what paint though kind through cold and whey,

for times gone swift and down quite say,

then came the poor as field were paid,

so now once game is left unmade.

twice when green lay quiet and rose the floor of kind were gentle, rolled.

herb in eyebrow twitch in greed and captain's run is captured seed.

so might that pinot noir echo though mild, the green uncalled in soft, in guile,

pewter as fault concave unwashed, the riled lost and filed cost.
