    Desk

    The desk is slanted
    Toward the armpit
    The back is slanted
    towrad the kidneys
    The seat is slanted
    toward the rectum

    Thbe DBS is AKR
    as is Life
    Then

    Scholarly Bullshit must
    End
    Fish Swim as do men
    Down stream

    The Boy takes
    his car
    and his
    weakness – lacking the
    Judge and

    Falls agin into America

    To Worry over Ego is to Have Ego

    Ergo
    I will write
    Not for fun of
    Profit
    or joyous bliss of Gain

    Rather for
    fear
    of being found
    Dry
    in a summer rain.

    And as the Scheme
    and plan seem
    stated
    I will change my aim

    And charge Blind
    And madly
    into

    That unknowable void of
    Brokien routine
    Shattered structure of
    constructuralism
    Fearful mixings of the
    Bones of the dead
    With the blood of the
    New.

    A Haiku for U.

    Until I
    Retire from
    Url I Work

    Into the
    Mouths of Babes
    Information must trickles.

    I ago
    Returns
    Unlike Farmers.

    R i i g h t.

    We are all one,
    The Zodiac Lies.
    Myers-Briggs is full of shite.
    Life cannot be catorgorized
    it is everything
    Speration is simplicifcartion
    And therefore Useless.
    Generalization is the Key.

    Thrust everything into one
    Express it all in a dot
    Promise everything
    And keep the promise.

    Thoughts on Cups.

    With fluid and ice
    A bit of Angst

    Vice lends credo to myth

    Blood and wine should not
    be spilled.

    Lids and corks
    or
    Knives and forks

    Are more fun left in place

    “I set you clear”
    My brother said that until I figured out his game, set before he got hoe from swim practice and started eating my candybars more slowly.

    Where as cups always
    tip at the same
    rate

    The lost of childhood love
    is paid slowly
    throught the teeth
    much unlick how fluids
    are rightly consumed.

    Ventrally.

    My hypocampus would fit in every cup I have ever seen; where as my pen would fit in very few.

    Comfortably.

    I will sip tea
    until I must pee
    then Asleep I shall be.

    Notes towards and Atypical Affair.

    Stephan and I wondered into
    A store
    Rhino by name, as I recall.
    Past pictures of the poor
    shoplifters;
    “Do the wrong thing”
    Written in the Dirty Hall.

    Punctuation then ceased
    As a young girl Appeared.
    Groving to Jazz
    Stephan’s Fate reared
    its head;
    As I realized I called
    him Steve
    And She would never call.
    At all.

    Using a Pen
    Turns me on.

    I Tune in on
    The Ink.
    Focusing
    on the
    Flow
    The rapid creation
    of lines – seperating
    paper into
    Planes,
    With spaces.

    Dropping the Illusion
    of Seperation –
    following the
    cliches till
    they are
    Once Again
    Behind
    You.

    A mind is a wonderful thing
    To waste

    The Horror of the 1990 Dope Draught
    psychedelic music feels
    psychedelic music fills the air
    Neil Yong

    I hate poems
    usually about
    poetry
    That don’t talk about
    their
    titles

    <<>>

    I hope they
    Read
    This
    And come to
    Take
    Away

    Everything which I
    Hold
    Dear
    Cause I have an
    Anarchist
    Weapon

    A death pistol
    of
    Mind
    Fearless of their
    Black
    Boots

    They have already done
    The
    Worst
    And pay back will
    Be
    Sweat

    Whosh it comes Whosh
    Across prismed
    fleeing

    An orange Bat
    circling Irvine
    A brown rat
    entering a mine
    Wealth Destroyed the
    world –

    Information will not
    Bring it Back

    Apathy, the spiritual anarchy,
    Give it meaning
    lends it support

    No one morn the bat,
    Fangs stuck in
    Ceramic toads.
    The Rat will Always
    Resurface

    A Poem for Mary Oliver

    Pulitzer Prize my
    Eye
    Frank O’Hara adn I
    can sort poems
    Better with our
    Feet.
    Hour by Hour
    you waste
    Never Tasting the
    Human.
    Open your Ears:
    Feel the Grass
    Tickilings of
    The Hammer and
    Stirrup.
    Charge open Armed
    into the Experience
    of your forgotten
    weakness

    Some Questions You Might Ask
    by Mary Oliver
    Is the soul solid, like iron?
    Or is it tender and breakable, like
    the wings of a moth in the beak of the owl?
    Who has it, and who doesn’t?
    I keep looking around me.
    The face of the moose is as sad
    as the face of Jesus.
    The swan opens here white wings slowly
    In the fall, the black bear carries leaves into the darkness.
    One question lead to another.
    Does it have a shape?
    Like an iceberg?
    Like the eye of a hummingbird?
    Does it have on lung, like the snake and the scallop?
    Why should I have it, and not the anteater
    who lover her children?
    Why should I have it, and not the camel?
    Come to think of it, what about the maple trees?
    What about the blue iris?
    What about all the little stones, sitting alone in the moonlight?
    What about roses, and lemons, and their shining leaves?
    What about the grass?
