Somehow the heat of pillow gives me the impression




If I could just keep concentrating

on all the little pieces

at once

They would finally fit:

No seams or edges or headaches

and the wind would turn cool

Heavy with sleep

And how all of this really / Means nothing to me


can't stand the chill





The moments just add more moments

No matter the spaces between

Concentration has its affect

To roll on the shadings

Give shape to the demands of skin

... and wished her mind could flow into that easy, babbling current ...





Mutant scales wreck dirty Music

On the side of my paint-chip brain

White with texture, hollow tension

In keeping out the noontime heat



The drills bear in, to pull at the spaces

Syncopate from temple to tongue

Its strings draw out, sharp for friction

And cast me back into the sun

variation on irish sunset

Wht is he looking forward to indeed






Statue where the Russian kids and middle-aged drunks drink on weekends and public holidays...

communist hero...

next to a western-style mall...

ah but my nerves are too lipsy to take this all any further...

Palo Alto





Oh You imitation of life

All the trappings of order distilled

While lifting the flag of nerves and destruction

To chase away the dark

Of perfectly lined streets

She slides up and





She slides up and kisses me

Skinny, in those limegreen panties

She whispers she loves me

Heavy, like a bag of bricks
