watertight the high-riding belt

who wants to kill liberation?we, the ugly, confesses the Bohemian

his cultural news behind a

bastion of wintry hammers

the giraffe in repose casts a casual eye

over the mustachioed gamin

pushing a blue car, a yellow SUV, a crushed

number 5 with wings forming a precocious

tattoo over his naked heart

these androgynous reveries cast their pallid eyesupon each other, slick like lizards, the color

of burnished copper, a small collision of

enmity billows like vapor and

spreads out into the miniature atmosphere

mushrooms in this grouting, the tiles inside

the enormous hollow head of an impotent dragon

take off the skin because it is hard,

dry and unsightly, because it has been in

contact with the bins, pallets and grubby handsof the stevedores and immigrant stowaways

the liquid is stirred, but dont dip the

baby in the sauce! dont fear the weeper

one candle follows the other candle

at the edge of meaning, a lack of sense

becomes the new Bible

A sun and thus a star, is born!

they rest their hollow heads upon

the shoulders of very little mendressed in green and dancing jiglets upon

the fragments of an exploded planet

a star is born but elsewhere everywhere

a planet is dying

purposefully obtuse their secular gospel

and apocalypsos, no god no devil

no butter no bread, just crumbs

and hunger, imaginary friends and their

very real repercussions

error correction: an ecumenical genocide

to thin the human herd

attitude persistence: driving automobiles

50 meters for a Slurpee

while a mirthless song would echo through

an empty universeif only sound could travel in space

they lay their hollow heads upon stacks

of yellowed newspaper there are enough

and all are curiously the same edition

Dec. 12, 1944

what happened on that day in Iagoville?

Speed Ray won his 14th consecutive Poodle County

Circuit stock care race

a man was found dead from exposure behindSampsons hardware

A coyote mangled seven of Bertha Bittenbottoms

prize Rhode Island Reds

the Allies of course were slogging their way

through the frozen mud and local Scout

Troop #27 collected scrap metal for the

war effort

thats all long gone now

the men in repose with their newspaper

pillows cast rheumy eyes around the room

it smells like a coffin

the fire is wan and exudes minimal heat

a light snow begins to fall

very far away, so far as to not even qualify

as real

a star the Star explodes!
