somehow you forget

how easy this is

at the movies...
marketing rules:
1. no inert surfaces: every space should advertise
2. product synergy is N-O-W

Some stopped clocks are never right.
Mahler’s 7th: enigmatic my ass
the cosmic power drill – everpresent like Big Bang –
poised to drive the cruel metal
complexity does not prove deity

this poetry speaks in volumes, not in sentences
hey, creep! are you chipmunk enough?
what I think in my own house won’t topple universes
we’re looking for a yet-no answer
before I quit it, before I tie and tie it quick to I
and thee and ante qua — time enough for still a cup of tea.

how long have you been reading?
[misheard] Prairie Home Contaminated
this morning the toast looks like UFOs
option potion

soul full of sayings
even the sun’s shade is warmer
we workshopped every night.
you said you had a houseboat.
isolate a stall.
stand me, cherry pie.

litmus test. canary in a. come on. you know the rest of it.
Grandiose has fallen on hard times... again.
the random is also representation.
I’ve got your chicken bones, I’ve got your half-light morning recyclables all tied up
the aliens aren’t trying to contact us about the imminent destruction of Earth
It is most American to speak another language, to eat from other plates.

“shit if you must this old gray head,
but spare this country’s fag," she said
Open the book and I have the hammer to strike it.
“Talk is cheap — you need science.”
God said “I dropped the house on you, and you did not die.”
