171216 morning things



out of the blue out of the clear blue out of the stars out of the
dark night sky out of the stars out of the dark night sky another
sun ambles over the edge gropes its way above the line and rises burning feverishly as long as it can climb skyward tasting the blue drinking blue like a drunkard starving of thirst drinking then slowly going lower slowly rounding down groundward slowly as if sinking almost ambivalent but decisively down and around or under sinking forever until new star again rising groping over the edge stars run away far into blue.

never quite expressing the thing having no particular thing to express talking without subject or object or story or goal only for soundwaves only for ink on paper only to give the fountain pens a workout so they don't go mad and dry up and break the way neglected objects and machines often erode and stop working in any capacity at all.



now and then a line here or a line there no rules poets forever talking about poetry always felt to me like a hall of mirrors I couldn't fit inside of and wanted to exit from as soon as I entered but was afraid of becoming mesmerized and hypnotized by all the doorways also covered with mirrors along the long endless hallway of mirrors covering the ceiling and floor also it would be like crawling on my hands and knees upside down in the sky while my hair groped for the earth.



leaving it unsaid or half-said or relying on assumptions and non-confirmed mental telepathy sending unspoken currents and thoughts and fragments and filaments from skull skyward sort of or linearly as if along invisible wire from skullthought to mental image or photo of person all incoherently and unconsciously only with a feeling-tone like a sound maybe only some animals can hear or maybe humans could but forgot or lost the knack or skill entirely to recieve these transmissions even though senders generally intuitively assume and even feel as if message were received by the mental photograph image they have of the person sent to which can never be described in detail because it dissolves like a rapidly evaporating cloud upon any inspection or attempt to describe even the slightest detail.

cough up your dimestore novel let out your ornamental screech I'd rather stay right here unless you get me to the beach then I'd rather stay right there forever watching the ocean sing its song––got no use for nothing else until my day is done.

don't carve on me like a pony don't inject me with laser beams don't send me down and re-cement me or strap me to your fluid tubes keep me away from those long hallways where the surgeons and nurses come and go I'd rather sleep with the fishes than toss and turn all night while they take all my dimes and try to buy me a little more time to sit around alone spinning rhymes no one will hear or read while watching tv until my eyes bleed or I finally go sit in a room alone until some image or memory punctures my heart and I cry like rain falling on the ocean out on a stormy sea with no more notion of what is home or how to ever find it or if it ever was or will be. 


in the evenings flare with candles and fireworks I roam the sultry shadows and whisper to pixels I fall down hypnotized and enchanted watching all the silver dancers doing acrobatics I never ever even dreamed was possible even in four dimensions of spacetime.

171215 9 a.m.

porcupine retribution  no solution
   wombat rehabilitation 
   excuses about the putting green
flags galling
earthquakes
general discombobulation between
the third and fourth dimensions
everyone carries something around they
wish they could just put down
    and leave. 

//

Nomadic daybreak in another key of intensity
as the retro-pines discuss
new vacation plans
usually other forests
not so much the beach
the shifting sands
the restless tides
the pines live more
to cling to

//

whipping my hair round and round in
the thin razor like wind
thinking a save might happen
if I'd stand at the right angle
and stop screaming at the top of
my lungs everytime th
lightning went in one ear and
out the other and
the golf-ball-sized hail pelted
my knees and ribs––
but then again a proper shave
might have to wait until
I'm back at the hotel
(if I ever get so lucky).

//

Lefty Moses, Croquet Boss, on the upper east side - no nonsense -
lots of attention to those thing-a-ma-jigs - and if stuff didn't come off
without a hitch Lefty would be up somebody's britches with a pair
of pliers and a lampshade (or a couple dynamite sticks) - no one
knew how or why he became so ruthless, some said it was due to the
DNA fragments he'd inherited from Atilla-the-Hun.
